More Stats Charts
“Monkey butt” — a popular search term
A while back we added charts showing how many views each post got since it was written. Some folks noticed that we omitted days with zero views. Now those days are included and the chart correctly dips to zero.
Can you believe it took that long to fix such a little bug? The fix was four lines of code. It was less than an hour of work. We were remiss. To make it up to our faithful Stats addicts we added similar charts for Referrers, Search Terms, and Clicks. Feast your eyes:
This change applies to WordPress.com bloggers as well as self-hosted WordPress bloggers using the WordPress.com Stats plugin—no upgrade required!
You can access these new charts by clicking on the “stats” icon next to the appropriate referrer, search term, or number of clicks.

Awesome. Hope to hear more of these improvments from the team.

Thanks for this. Alltough I was never stroken by zero-hit days so far (or I didn’t notice it – because they were not shown).
I see a bigger problem in those obviously routine-like visits by layeredtech and ltdomains, and by several other texas-site; not always to be identified. I think that they are also counted in the statistics, though they are kind of “domestic”. Could they be eliminated in the count, or are they already?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

tabasco22, our stats use javascript to only count real visitors, so the counts we show should not include robots or automatic visits.
Aug 13th at 11:37 am
ok
Aug 13th at 11:38 am
Alright! *2 thumbs up*
Aug 13th at 11:45 am
Great! Thank you

Monkey butt?
Interesting but perhaps TMI?
How does one assess quality?

woo-hoo! stats stats stats … gotta love ‘em!

I clicked into my admin to check the stats on my posts this morning, and what do I see over on the left. . . .STATS for people clicking onto links to my site. Another great feature for WordPress users.
Referrers, Search Terms, Clicks. . . .
Oh, WordPress, you are Da Bomb!
Thank you for thinking of us and for giving us all the wonderful ways to navigate and get the most out of our blogs.

great job!

Don’t spoil us so much or we will never upgrade!
Aug 13th at 1:32 pm
This is what I needed
Aug 13th at 1:32 pm
When can we have stats showing geographical information? And stats about users´ – first time, returning, etc? It would make WordPress even better than it already is. Thank you
Aug 13th at 1:33 pm
pymequitacion, geographic location is definitely on the list, it’s a common request.
Aug 13th at 1:39 pm
Thanks for fixin’ stuff. I luv the stats: more equals better.
Aug 13th at 1:55 pm
Your candor over this bug is refreshing. In the shop where I work, if I suggested we say something like that to our clients, I’d get looked at as though I had just sprouted a second head.
Aug 13th at 2:00 pm
Thanks for the stats updates! I <3 reading my stats page
Aug 13th at 2:07 pm
Waw
It s better than the old one
Aug 13th at 2:17 pm
nice article.
Aug 13th at 2:42 pm
Huzzah! You guys really are the best. Thanks for caring and/or doing your job.

Cool… I was wondering why that graph was messed up (although it did make my stats look more impressive, if I didn’t look at the axis labels.) It’s much easier to see things at a glance now, although I think it would make more sense as a histogram since it goes by whole days rather than continuous time. That way the total blue area would accurately represent the total number of visitors, and it wouldn’t look like there were, for example, 2.718 visitors at a certain time in between two days.
Aug 13th at 3:18 pm
you should have a stat chart that shows how much you get each day, but not as a line graph. they should have the date on one side, and then the amount of visitors on the other side. they should also allow you to go back a couple months/years as well.
Aug 13th at 3:52 pm
oh thank god…firstly i saw it i thiught i got hacked
Aug 13th at 4:10 pm
kwel
Aug 13th at 4:36 pm
thank you! any additions to stats is very welcome. i can never get enough of it
access to google analytics on our blogs would be super awesome!
Aug 13th at 4:41 pm
It would be good to know stats about media (songs, videos) played in posts, too.
Aug 13th at 4:44 pm
Superb.
Thanks a million.
More please…
Aug 13th at 5:04 pm
thanks andy..
Aug 13th at 5:16 pm
Does monkeybutt refer to “W”? Or is it just a code term used at the white house for the potus?
Aug 13th at 5:22 pm
Thanks stats, good day
Aug 13th at 5:26 pm
Good news.
Aug 13th at 6:00 pm
Thanks for this! Now….please, even more details!
Aug 13th at 6:07 pm
Thank you muchly!
Aug 13th at 6:27 pm
Excellent news. Thanks!!
Aug 13th at 6:44 pm
Nice name… monkey butt… brings back memories. It is good that improvements are continuosly being made. I await more future improvements.
Aug 13th at 6:48 pm
I’m new to worpdress and didn’t know you could see charts for individual posts. How do I get there?
Aug 13th at 6:49 pm

Great Help from SEO Experts
Aug 13th at 7:09 pm
The more stats, the better.
Thanks!
Aug 13th at 7:11 pm
@ Gabriela and JMRot: You can access these new charts by clicking on the “stats” icon next to the appropriate referrer, search term, or number of clicks. (We just edited the post to clarify that.)
Aug 13th at 7:27 pm
Oh, yeah! Don’t know what I’d do without those monkey butt searches!
I love it, the more info. the better. I’m not entirely sure I WANT to know when I’ve had zero hits, but OK…I’ll be brave. 
Aug 13th at 7:32 pm
Having a black belt from Motorola in Statistics, I like any blogs on statistics.
Aug 13th at 7:47 pm

Thanks!
Aug 13th at 8:21 pm
Brilliant! Thank you.
Karen.
Aug 13th at 8:36 pm
would be nice if there was one click access to the stats page from any page in WP…if there is can someone share how/where? better yet would be a widget that showed an updated view of hits at all times
Aug 13th at 8:38 pm
thanks
Aug 13th at 9:04 pm
Cool. You guys are great! Thanks for the great work.
Aug 13th at 9:05 pm
Thanks but I already need a 12-step program for stats addicts as it is : )
Aug 13th at 9:08 pm
Good job. Take tomorrow off.
Aug 13th at 9:22 pm
Matt or anyone from the WordPress team,
I have a site that is not a wordpress subdomain url. My backend has been recording what appears to be “Fake Traffic” sent by either AVG software or malware mimicking software. Does WordPress filter out this type of garbage?
Aug 13th at 9:37 pm
nice. I can never get enough info on the popularity of monkey butts.
Aug 13th at 9:51 pm
Coolio!
Aug 13th at 9:56 pm
I’ve always be a chart freak so needless to say I think it’s great…………………Halbaby

I love it, thanks! Now I can see how often my ramblings go unseen inbetween those few special visits!
Aug 13th at 11:48 pm
Thanks you from Spain…
Aug 13th at 11:48 pm
Thank’s for this
Aug 14th at 12:38 am
Hmm, http://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats won’t load for me.

Aug 14th at 5:50 am
awesome .. great feature
Aug 14th at 5:50 am
The auto statistics information is really a handy tool to guage the goabout of our posts and viewrship. It’s really amazing that the WordPress team is gearing up with all sorts of enhancing tools at our disposals. Thanks.
Aug 14th at 5:53 am
I love stats. Keep ‘em coming.
Aug 14th at 6:05 am
As all you do, this is good too. Thanks a lot.
Aug 14th at 7:48 am
It’s great. Currently I can know how many ‘views’ my blog gets. Is it possible to know how many ‘visitors’ I got? I know may be it’s asking for ‘too much’:-) but, one day a visitor viewing my site 10 times and the next day 10 visitors viewing the site once each, return the same results.
Aug 14th at 7:50 am
simply awesome!
Aug 14th at 7:56 am
great
is it possible to show us more about visitors like browser, screen resolution,location … and clarify visitors and visits and we were able to show them in blog
it would be great if you put an IP resolver near the commenters IP address
thanks
Aug 14th at 8:22 am
Just wanted to say you’ve got the best avatar!
Aug 14th at 11:33 am
Cool!
Aug 14th at 11:43 am
Now just fix the stats so we can view them in the time zone we actually in.
Aug 14th at 11:44 am
See, if you were using Ruby it’d have been 1 line of code taking less than a minute to write ;P
Aug 14th at 11:47 am
thats great
Aug 14th at 1:55 pm
very nice. thanks as always for increasing functionality and a great product.
Aug 14th at 2:10 pm
This is absolutely great news, thank you and good job!
