A blog is a quick way to get information. Posts are generally short, you maybe linking to many outside pages. Also blogs tend to come up better tin search engines and therefore you might have a particular post in which people found through a search engine and after they read it never returned.

I would imagine most blogs are consumed through RSS feeds (mine certainly are) -- the sheer volume of traffic makes it so. Although I do often take a look over other articles, I tend not to, unless it's lunch or sometime where I'm looking for inspiration and decide to take my mind off what I'm solving directly for a little while. It's an interesting issue though -- one that I don't think's been covered that much yet: how to incorporate this kind of readership analysis into RSS feeds. Using web analytics is only a portion of the story. Mind you, that could be because my average page per visit is slightly above 1.0 right now :) But would you not say that ’stickiness’ in the traditional sense of websites isn’t necessarily what’s important/relevant for a blog?
