Quick Question on Blog Stats

December 30th, 2007 · 9 Comments

I know a lot of you post blog stats and search terms that people enter to find your blog.  I haven’t been able to figure out how to do this.  I installed ShortStat, but I can’t get it to work.  Can anyone teach me or tell me how to do the stat thing?

    here via Mr. Fab…

    If you have FTP access to your templates, the best is to install Google Analytics.

    Gonna see what you are all about since Fab said you were worth it.

    I use StatCounter.com because I find it the most user-friendly for us peeps who don’t know what we’re doin’. You just click on “keyword analysis” and it tells you what you want to know.

    I use the free version of StatCounter, and I also use Sitemeter. Both tell you who stopped by and where they are located and how they found you. They present information in different formats, so you can get information from one that you can’t get from the other. Etc.

    Thanks Sixty, Sour and Nina. I really appreciate it.

    Sixty, I hope that this is an hour you won’t want to get back…

    See you in twenty!

    I second Google Analytics. It’s very easy to use and has a great report.

    I have sitemeter on my blog. It’s pretty basic, but I don’t need lots of info. I just need to be able to obsessively check to see how many people have been by each day. LOL

    I use WP Stats (quite unsuccessfully I might add) and ClustrMaps as blog-embedded tools but the geek in me can’t stop using analog. It’s an open source tool that scours the raw apache log files and gives me nice little reports. http://whall.org/stats if you wanna check it out. However I just now realized that it stopped working on 12/19. Now this geek has to go and fix it.

    and by ‘analog’ I meant awstats. Sheesh, I can’t even get my comments right this morning :)

Come on man. You know you want to say something!
