Wordpress Lets You Do That?

If we are truly serious about our online presence, then we have to keep up on our web statistics. Web stats tell us loads of information about our visitors. Where they came form, what they looked at, what images they clicked on, what page they left on, and how much time they spent on our site.

If you’re in the business of online marketing, then paying attention to your web stats is crucial, to tweak your site for that competitive edge. The good news is, that you can now install a plugin from Wordpress.com that will allow you to see all this information and more from your Wordpress Blog.

If you have not already got the plugin, you can get it at wordpress.com. Once uploaded to your blog, you’ll have to visit wordpress.com and register, then you will get a security key to activate the plugin. This key is called an API key. Once you have the key you will have to enter it via your blog. This key is emailed out to you, so be sure not to delete the email. If you have more than one blog, you will use the same key for each.

Once activated, you’ll generally have to wait half an hour before the plugin begins to work. The Web Stats are located on your Dashboard and there is plenty of information contained there to keep you busy. Take note of where your traffic comes from, as you can beef up your efforts in these areas, and cut down in areas where you may be dedicating a lot of time trying to get small amounts of traffic from.
