Whatcha Clickin’?
We’ve been tracking a bit of extra information on your blogs for the past few weeks and now we’re ready to show it to you: clicks. Whenever somebody clicks a link on your blog it should be counted. You can see the results on your Blog Stats page.
I really hate to write such a short news post but it’s just that simple. 
Update: Blog user clicks should now be excluded and there is now a Top Clicks widget.

Oh cool I ve just seen that, I like that. At first I wondered but for me it seem to be a nice addition, maybe you could also see where people are routing along passing by my own side. that would considerably open new chances to modify and specify you content to meet the demands of the readers
Nice work, many thx!!!

Is this an Easter egg or a Crazy egg?
January 17th, 2007 at 1:44 am
THAT’S AWESOME. It’ll be nice to know what people are checking out because of my site.
Thanks!!!

January 17th, 2007 at 1:53 am
Just noticed it a few minutes ago. Nice add.
January 17th, 2007 at 1:56 am
That is so cool! I just noticed it and did a double take ’cause I definitely didn’t see this earlier today! Nice feature!!!
January 17th, 2007 at 1:56 am
Neat-o.
January 17th, 2007 at 1:58 am
I just noticed this a moment ago and couldn’t figure out what was different about my stats page. It’s a good idea, it’s useful in figuring out what people find interesting in my blog and what they don’t.
Thanks!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:02 am
This is a terrific feature, simple or not. Thanks!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:03 am
Does it register clicks I do on my own blog? It seems like it is doing that.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:04 am
Pretty awesome to see how many people follow up when I write a post, or the effectiveness of a blogroll. Thanks!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:05 am
We’ll soon know which are “hot links” and which aren’t, won’t we?
Excellent!

January 17th, 2007 at 2:08 am
Thats awesome, thanks!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:10 am
It’s good, I like that, it’d be good if we could now the country of our visitors!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:11 am
Very nice. Now I can see how many people are following my reccomendations.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:12 am
I love it. I always wondered if anyone ever clicked on the links. Now I can tell.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:14 am
Thanks. This feature is just great!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:16 am

Way to go WP.com crew!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:26 am
OK. It definetly registers link we click on our own blog. Anyway to exclude those???
January 17th, 2007 at 2:29 am
Great addition to the stats capabilities. Thank you! -Ian
January 17th, 2007 at 2:31 am
Very useful. As others have mentioned it helps one get an idea of how readers are following up on what the writer is offering them.
Thanks!
January 17th, 2007 at 2:31 am
That’s a nice idea.Definately helps one to improve.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:35 am

January 17th, 2007 at 2:38 am
Nice addition! Very useful information.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:44 am
Interesting… I was always wondering why so few people see my blog. So that is the exact reason why.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:51 am
I’ve always wanted to know this. Thanks, guys. Great new addition.
January 17th, 2007 at 2:53 am

Hi There,
I love it!
I wouldn’t have even thought of it. Buts its great.
By the way – Did I mention I think you should offer e-mails as a chargable upgrade?

January 17th, 2007 at 3:52 am
That’s really awesome.
Any chance we could get a sidebar widget like top posts with “top outgoing clicks”?
January 17th, 2007 at 4:04 am
Clicks coming just after Snap, boy WP just keeps getting better!! Thanx alot to the folks at WP!
January 17th, 2007 at 4:05 am
Thanks for the addition. . . . its already very interesting to see the ‘hot links’ on my Blog.
January 17th, 2007 at 4:20 am
No way! you guys really make staying at wordpress worthwhile. His is an example of another amazing ‘extra’ that has now becomes a necessity. How could we have done without it! Thank you again.
January 17th, 2007 at 4:21 am
Yay, now I can tell if someone’s lying when they said they checked out such-and-such. Sweet!
January 17th, 2007 at 4:24 am
Thanks

January 17th, 2007 at 4:42 am
I just love it!
January 17th, 2007 at 4:56 am
I came over here to report the same thing. No way anyone else is clicking on my admin link.
January 17th, 2007 at 4:59 am
Great idea. Keep up the good work.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:07 am
thanks for this!
January 17th, 2007 at 5:07 am
I saw that today and thought it was really cool! Thanks!
January 17th, 2007 at 5:09 am
Thanks! Should be cool to see.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:23 am
Good job!
January 17th, 2007 at 5:31 am
Cool Feature. Tx to every1 at WP.
P.S: On some blogs I’ve noticed that hovering on a link opens up pop-up saying something on the lines of ‘5 Clicks today’ etc etc. Any chance that can be implemented?
January 17th, 2007 at 5:32 am
My first time commenting, but I really like all these extras you’ve been adding! keep it up!
January 17th, 2007 at 5:44 am
Useful addition, thank you!
January 17th, 2007 at 5:44 am
Thanks. Its a useful feature.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:55 am
just caught that – like it lots.. keep it up and moving out to the world.
January 17th, 2007 at 6:01 am
as always, you guys are great. keep it up.
January 17th, 2007 at 6:01 am
Actually, this is fantastic. I really need this information to help me target my writing to be effective for my readers. Well done guys! Very cool!
January 17th, 2007 at 6:13 am
I thought this was so good I have posted about it!
January 17th, 2007 at 6:26 am
I just noticed this and love it! Had to stop by and say thanks
January 17th, 2007 at 6:28 am
I love it. And I love it the most that you don’t make promises, you deliver even before any promise is made. I love the click counting feature.
January 17th, 2007 at 6:28 am
Saw this today. Wow. nice!
January 17th, 2007 at 6:28 am
Great feature, thanks.
January 17th, 2007 at 6:41 am
Seriously? Wow…okay off to check that out
January 17th, 2007 at 6:54 am
I have been wondering from the start of my blog if people click on anything on my blog and if they do what they actually click. I never thought of asking you guys to add this as a service as I thought it would be asking for too much. And here it is – without asking for it! Can’t get over it.
Thanks.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:04 am
you just never run out of ideas guys.
very nice.
oh, and thank you!
January 17th, 2007 at 7:11 am
Lately I’ve been wishing I knew if I were wasting my time providing folks with resources on other sites. And today, low and behold out of nowhere we have click stats! YES!
January 17th, 2007 at 7:28 am
Yep…….like this, thanks very very much, great stuff.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:34 am
cool!
January 17th, 2007 at 7:46 am
w0w, thats a really great enhancement, thanks for that!
January 17th, 2007 at 7:54 am
Thank you! This is a really excellent feature!
January 17th, 2007 at 8:04 am
Hmm…Now I have to include links in all of the posts to get people busy on their mouse buttons
An addition to my previous comment: Can there be a feature where, the Post Title from where the link actually was clicked upon is mentioned? (As a heads-up, on the calendar if we hover on any date, we see the posts made on that date. Similarly if we hover on the links that were clicked, can the post name be made to display?)
Idle curiosity
January 17th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Nice, thanks
January 17th, 2007 at 8:37 am
OMG! This is awesome. I’ve only been blogging with WP for about a month now, but it’s by far the best of the sites I tried out.
Thanks for the stats
