Topic of the Week 12
All about Stats…
Many WordPress users don’t realize all of the features that this free social networking site has to offer. One of the things that have I became more aware of after using this site for a while is the “Stats” feature. You can go into your personal dashboard within your page and find a chart that will provide you with a lot of useful information.
How could it benefit you?
One of the things that the stats page can tell you is what post was the most popular in the past week, how many people visited your page in a day and if you monitor it frequently you can begin to tell what works to drive people to your site. This feature also keeps track of the amount of people viewing your blog and what day out of the last week had the most traffic. This portion of the blog can also inform you of how many “click throughs” have been performed throughout your site each day.
As a PR practitioner it is important to know how the public is getting their information so that you can relay the information to them effectively. The stats page can be useful for a PR practitioner because it can help to evaluate what topics people are interested in and what kinds of things get the most hits. If you haven’t checked out this feature on WordPress yet, give it a try to see how this information could benefit you!
Tara, I really enjoy reading your blog. Stats are extremely important to analyze if you want to have a successful blog. When I look at my stats, I begin to understand what my audience is interested in reading. Great Post!
