> Which numbers really matter

Make sure you choose a goal before choosing the metrics you care about! The metrics OP lists look like they have a goal of driving traffic and engagement which is good for some blogs. But for most of our (hn-crown) blogs the goals look like "sharing info with others", "solidifying me as an expert in this space", or "storing info so I can get back to it later".

Metrics for those goals look very different!
