If your blog is under your real name and comes up in a simple web search, then I would not post your query stats.

It doesn't. I've googled myself a few times and I don't think my real name is ever on my blog.

And I've always had that thought too. I'll leave the ones that are already there up, but won't post any more. Unless I have a request or something...think that would be okay?

In your case I think you're probably okay because your titles are fairly common words.

Most of my comment were directed at people who are blogging under their own name in order to come up in google if an agent does a search.

But if, by some miracle, I did manage to get an agent, do you think they'd be very happy to see that on my blog?

I think they would probably ask you to take it down.

Look at it this way: You have a car for sale. 56 people look at the car and all decide to pass - some didn't like the colour, others thought the engine needed a few tweaks, someone kicked the tire and stubbed their toe, etc. Nothing that means it's a bad car, just things that meant it wasn't what they were looking for.

Would you then put a sign in the car window telling the next potential buyers that 56 people had looked at it and passed?

Very good point...okay, no more query stats on my blog.
