Page Views

Page views is a stat that all stat counters give you so you can see which posts or pages are the most popular. It is indexed, and all of your pages may be ranked or have different PageRank accordingly. So, what do you do to create more pageviews.

1) Create an aesthetically pleasing site that won’t scare away your visitors in a millisecond.
2) SEO your site in a nice way, so that Google (and the others) actually indexes your site properly and displays what the user was actually looking to find. This to me is one of the biggest things. Random sentences in posts showing up in the description from Google . What a waste of everyones time.
3) Have a clear navigational tool for people to easily click around your site and find things.
4) Have a search bar for your site
5) Use a plugin that shows related posts
6) Use a plugin that shows recent posts
7) Use a plugin that shows recent comments

Page views is an important stat that can really show how useful you site is. Some sites will always have low page views and that may be ok too. If people find what they need in 5 seconds and leave, the site has still done a good job in my mind. I always try to have more useful things to offer (but make sure not to tempt people with crap, ie a misleading post title) for my visitors because I want to have more of a community and I want people to come back.
