Summarize More

Here is another feature from the “meant to fully support that a long time ago” department.

Summarized stats are now available for referrers, search terms, and clicks.

Clicks

Many people find the new results to be longer and more enjoyable. Your experience may vary.

Oh, and a tip for the truly stats-obsessed: we don’t update the database more than once in every three minutes, so you should count to 180 before hitting refresh. :wink:

    Oh, excellent, Andy! Those things had gone away, and being able to resurrect them for “All Time” is great. I’ve gotten some search terms repeatedly, and it’s nice to be able to look at the results of those all together. And then there are the bizarre ones. How do they find me and when? You’ve given us a new, useful tool. Only once every three minutes? What am I supposed to do all that time? :)

    You guys should have done it a long time ago! This is such a cool feature! : )

    Three cheers for you guys! : ) Thx a lot!

    I love the “all time” feature, its great and so useful. I do remember seeing this asked quite some time ago indeed, in the forum, by one lady politician who said she wanted an “all time top post” feature (too lazy to do the search but it was in there) ! Good move :)

    Impressive, and good to know about that 3 minute refresh rate :)

    That’s great! But for me page views is more important.

    Oh, that’s why I only get higher figures every three minutes – I wondered already about that delay :)

    meanwhile here

    F5… …180sec… …F5…

    good to know that.

    thanks Andy and WPGuys

    Very nice, very helpful, very interesting too! Thanks for adding this feature, especially “All time”. Really puts a different perspective on how information ebbs and flows around the blogosphere.

    Thanks for new All time statistics feature.
    Could you also provide information from categories perspective?
    so I can create a list of posts per category.

    Cheers.

    I can now see how many times people have searched variations on the term “foot licker” and found me? Do I want to know?

    Fabulous feature otherwise! Perhaps I could focus on how many times folks DIDN’T use that term. ;) WordPress, I love you.

    180, 179, 178, 177, 176, 175, 174, 173, 172, 171, 170, 169, 168, 167, 166, 165, 164,163, 162, 161,160, 159, 158, 157, 156, 155, 154, 153, 152, 151, 150, 149, 148, 147, 146, 145, 144, 143, 142, 141, 140, 139…

    Brilliant.

    Will give more ammo for a lecture (and post) that I’m planning on ‘how blogging will improve your career’. It will shown how bloggers can really learn about the world out there and their impact on it.

    Thanks once again.

    Getting better all the time.

    Is it possible to have an AJAX version of the stats?
    That’s because there’s no Flash support yet on the iPhone.
    Apple, get to work!
    Adobe, you too!

    I’d say “thanks” but my wedge of WP, clearly, doesn’t work the same way as others’ and this feature close to…bottom straw. So I’m off to look for help.

  29. Nita
    Feb 8th at 10:59 am

    I had no idea that wordpress.com was my top referrer! Thank you!! And as for the search terms summary, that’s a great help and so is the clicks summary!
    Thanks for this feature.

    *rolf* you guys know me! Stats nuts. And you are just turning into such a great load of people, I think I will have to leave WordPress if you keep working at this pace… because I am so very hooked and find I am ignoring other things…

    Anyway, this is great news to close some of those “marketing” holes we might otherwise oversee. Thanks!

    Feb 8th at 11:18 am

    Can you please add that excellent ‘week, month, quarter, year, all time’ functionality to the ‘hits’ count as well?
    It might be quite interesting to have for ‘comments’, too.

    Many thanks.

    Thanks, Andy. This is a great addition; certainly much easier than changing it in the address bar like I’ve been doing. :)

    One thing: when I click on search terms, if I select anything over 30 days, many of the search terms disappear, especially ones only used once or twice… is it supposed to do that? It doesn’t for the top posts which have only been viewed a couple of times.

  44. christopher
    Feb 8th at 12:30 pm

    three minutes! what iff that three minutes is when a new record is hit? LOL

    The stats are great for figuring out when I’m doing the right things, I can’t imagine anyone needing a faster re-cap than you guys give us—thanks!

    Great new function. I will use it to do more posts on things referrers are interested in and will now know which to avoid for those questionable mature referrals, which cause me to LOL when I think of their faces when they see my child & teacher-friendly-only topics, in place of whatever they thought they would find.
