Elizabeth, that 31 may also be the number of pages accessed per day, rather than discrete visits. I use sitemeter.com and they break the information down into visits and pages per visit. They also provide the length of time a visitor remains on the site if he or she checks out more than one page. What I find most interesting is the referral site information; I like knowing how people find me.
I began with an average of five visits per day to the site and am now up to eight or ten. This doesn't reflect number of pages accessed, just unique visits. All of my commissions thus far have been through word of mouth or through people seeing my miniportfolio; I have been treating my site only as an online portfolio to which I can refer people who call to express an interest in a portrait. It did net me an interview with a journalist from an affluent-lifestyles sort of magazine, which resulted in a photo of a portrait and some text in an article about unusual gifts.
I have another site that deals with ecotourism in my area; that gets double or triple the visits that my portrait site does, but it's also been up since '96.
