Two New Stats Things
Did you ever look at your stats chart and wonder which posts were published on a particular day? Now it’s easy to find out. Just move your mouse around the chart. (This only works for WordPress.com blogs right now.)
Did you ever wonder how many hits your home page gets? Now it’s listed along with your posts. There is also a comprehensive report page reachable by clicking the little icon on the right. (This works for WordPress.com blogs and self-hosted blogs using the Stats plug-in. No upgrade is required.)
I hope these little upgrades will help you prosper in the new year.

January 7th, 2010 at 4:36 am
man you guys are good
January 7th, 2010 at 4:45 am
this is great! thanks a ton~
January 7th, 2010 at 4:50 am
dammm!! you get soo many views wtf aahh
January 7th, 2010 at 4:53 am
keep up the good work!…..
January 7th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Fancy!! and thanks of course… this is perfect for old people like me who can’t remember what day I posted what… lol.
January 7th, 2010 at 5:27 am
Great additions. The homepage stats will be the most useful I think as now I can gauge how many people are traveling through that page and what else they may be viewing. love it all!
January 7th, 2010 at 6:19 am
Yes very good features here. Anyway I am still testing…….
January 7th, 2010 at 6:34 am
I am really amazed to know that our WordPress is making our blogging life so handy, simple and cozy.
Posting the posts are half job done; and tracking the ‘access’ of those posts by the people and reforming ourselves on the ‘feedback’ feeds is another half task to bedone – these two tasks together may make our blogging job ‘full’. I really appreciate the WordPress team on behalf of the entire blogging community, for their continuus innovations there. Thanks and Congrats.
January 7th, 2010 at 6:44 am
Thank You . This Is Great .
January 7th, 2010 at 7:01 am
this is a good feature

Andy: Nice Moustache AND Great Information. A fruitful 2010 to ya! ~ E from The End of the Block
January 7th, 2010 at 7:53 am
Yeah, I too noticed. that is really great.
January 7th, 2010 at 8:10 am
it was so much better! u guys are genius!
January 7th, 2010 at 8:39 am
ah! so it was in BETA when I first noticed this last month…interesting. Keep it up
January 7th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Ya .. I Notice It… Its Very nice .. Thanks for the new upgrade
January 7th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Its great! I like this feature and so many others here on WP also I love checking out all the different blogs so many people have a abundance of cool topics, free to check us out too
Ucomment Ireply….join the movement
January 7th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Love it also-I have a knack for details and its important for me that features like these are added.
January 7th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Anything that has to do with stats is enjoyable by me, so thanks very much!
January 7th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
I love having the home page view totals at long last. I used to count the all the individual post hit totals and subtract from the overall total to figure this out. This saves a lot of work. Now the most important remaining stat feature would be daily unique visitors. Have you guys ever worked on that?
January 7th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Thank you guys… these are great features… really brings out better picture of the stats!
January 7th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
As admin of a non-public blog I would love to be able to get stats from ‘home users’ i.e. from users registred as authors/contributors.
Is that possible?
January 7th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Yes I have noticed them. Thanks for the info!
January 7th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Sweetness! I love seeing how many hits to my homepage. I actually had never realized so many people were going there. (I’d figured that the pageviews not accounted for by individual posts were mostly archived category pages and the like.)
January 7th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
I’ve noticed these features… and LOVE THEM. THANKS WORDPRESS!!!
January 7th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Andy, if we have people subscribed to posts by email and that’s the only way they read posts, does that automatically-generated email count as a “hit” in our blog stats if they are never actually visiting our URL?
January 7th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
A nice addition. Thank you.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Being a math teacher and interested in search engine rankings, these improvement make me so very happy!
Cheers!
January 7th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Yeah, ok, thanks. But in order to have a good tracking engine you must have at leasts two things more:
1. Count of uniques (not only the total sum of visits)
2. Visitor Geolocation (from where the visitors come)
…And if you want to be really professional, perhaps is good to add the OS, browser and the screen resolution of the visitor. It helps (sometimes a lot) in the design of our blog.
TIA & Happy New Year.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
These are great additions. Thanks.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
i likey
January 7th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
LOVE IT
January 7th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Saw it. Used it.
Didn’t think anything of it.
But now that you mention it, I do appreciate it.
Keep up the good work.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
This is great – I’ve always wondered about how many hits the page gets rather than articles themselves.
Can someone confirm, HomePage counts now include anyone typing in your blog name in the address bar and also any hits to the main page from any of your posts being found by googling them?
When your posts are found by a google search that first hits WordPress articles, then links to your blog post, or if someone clicks on an article title (or from any other link within the blog), then they are added to the post count rather than the HomePage one?
January 7th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
These are new are they? As a 1st time blogger I never noticed! Looks great though.
January 7th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
cool features !
January 7th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
ThanX Andy!! – WordPress just keeps getting better and better !
January 7th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Yup they’re so cool! Especially the home page!
January 7th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I guess I’m not alone in liking the new stats features. Good Job!
January 7th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
very nice :0
.
January 7th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
I noticed them and like the new format…yippe
January 7th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
Thanks so much for the home page tracking in particular! Very helpful!
January 7th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
really cool feature, tnx a lot.
January 7th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
I picked up on these features right away. Wonderful!!!
Is there a similar feature in the works for the other pages on the blog? That would be very helpful.
What about a way to track the cumulative total of views each post over time has in order of total hits without going into each one individually?
How about a feature to track thesyndicated hits as well, to het a more accurate view of the total number of visits?
Thanks for all the blessings that you keep bringing to us!
January 7th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
I miss not having Google Analytics a little less now!
January 7th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
These new stat upgrades are great, I love them. Thanks!
January 7th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Brilliant, it really helps knowing what happened to create peaks without having to trnaslate it myself.
Thanks
Barry
January 7th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
At first, I was looking to check my hits. Now I can check who posted what!
January 7th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Superb idea people, and thank you for enabling our blogging addiction er umm I mean experience. o.O
January 7th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
I’m loving both of these new features, thank you!
January 7th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Thanks so much, love it!
January 7th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Not bad, but what about unique visitors, and bounce rate?
January 7th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Really good !!!
January 7th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
would anyone show me where is `/wp-content/plugins/` that I can upload my php file? I cannot find it.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Fantastic idea !!!. Another reason to go with WP.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:15 am
Thank you so much for adding these features! I was pleasantly surprised when I found them.
January 8th, 2010 at 12:45 am
Awesome! Thanks!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:57 am
thumbs up! thanks for the improvements!
January 8th, 2010 at 1:39 am
I have been using this feature since I recently noticed it and absolutely LOVE it! It’s actually kind of addicting…. it’s really helpful to see which posts are getting more hits. Thanks for making such a great feature. WordPress is Wonderful!
January 8th, 2010 at 1:55 am
Thanks for the new perks! You keep churning them out every month! Love it AND wordpress!
January 8th, 2010 at 2:09 am
Yes I had noticed the new features, and liked them. Thanks
January 8th, 2010 at 2:47 am
I noticed and was so confused. I thought my blog made the homepage. Either way, I am addicted to STAT counter. Thank you!!!
January 8th, 2010 at 5:04 am
These features really beat having to check your stats on a separate website, as is the case with blogger!
@Ahmad Haes
Just under the graph, on the right side, click on the “Top posts & pages” link and you’ll be able to get all the stats with regd. to individual posts!
January 8th, 2010 at 5:08 am
Many thanks for this to the entire WordPress team… May I also wish all of you a very happy new year.
Regards/Pradeep
January 8th, 2010 at 5:23 am
Great! I will take Home page stat feature as fill-up for a missing link in the stat data.
Can you add the feature of location of our visitors and referrals count etc. I mean we can make it even more interesting. Bring in the WordPress stat plug-in features for us. 
January 8th, 2010 at 5:35 am
A very convenient and empowering change in the readability of stats. Thank you.
January 8th, 2010 at 6:39 am
Hot stuff right here.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:52 am
Well done, I check my stats regularly so I really appreciate these features.

I really like the post tag on the stats chart. What a good idea!
Like someone mentioned, I had been thinking the weird addition problem was a foible on my part that just reinforced that I was just bad at math, when in reality adding the homepage to the count throws the addition off. Now I get why this happens, though. Thanks for explaining!
January 8th, 2010 at 8:13 am
both great features, much easier to see the dates I posted, and the home page stats helps a lot. Thanks WP.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:16 am
Nice and congratulation i like it
January 8th, 2010 at 8:17 am
It is a great feature, but it still upsets the top post list in the sidebar.
January 8th, 2010 at 9:01 am
I appreciate ur efforts…m proud to be blogging with wordpress.com
January 8th, 2010 at 10:59 am
Thanks! I did notice it. I think it’s a really good improvement. Very useful to us. Thanks for everything
January 8th, 2010 at 11:35 am
i like too
January 8th, 2010 at 11:52 am
am taking my time, i need to understand your services and maximize them…Thanks
January 8th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
yes already noticed this
January 8th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Love it! It helps me with organizing and finding popular posts! Also i love that you can see what links people click on your blog and what links people click to get to your blog!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
I just noticed that, very good idea indeed!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Thank you so much for this! Really useful!
January 8th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Yes. it is very nice …
January 8th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Great new addition, WordPress. Very, very useful. Keep up the good work and have a great weekend!

January 8th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
nice one. good work
January 8th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Excellent additions – many thanks!
I was also wondering the same thing as te2ataria above – who asked
“Is this new and useful feature in any way responsible for “Top Posts” to list incorrectly?”
My Top Posts were totally wacky yesterday – even showing unpublished drafts. I ended up removing the widget altogether.
January 8th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Outstanding! I was always hoping the “hits for the home page” feature might one day be added to WP stats.
January 8th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Very informative stuff!
January 8th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Great and useful features. Good ideas both.
January 8th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Those 2 new features are very nice additions.
The issue with long titles annoyed me but now it’s fixed.
THX a lot
January 8th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
That’s great, but what I would really like is if we could use Google Analytics.
Sometimes there are things that I would like to post on my WP blog that I put on a wikispaces site instead for the google analytics.
I know there’s a reason we have not had this on the multi-user blog platform; but I think there are enough people here who would love to have it, and I think WP is important enough for google to want to make us happy, and I think the people at both WP and Google are smart enough that they could find a way to make this happen.
January 8th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
I absolutely love it. Yes i noticed it and keeping track of the number of views keeps me pumped up to come back to wordpress and blog even more.
January 8th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Cute new info. Thanks.
January 8th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Very fine, thanks.
January 8th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
i love the upgrades and would love to see more. I’ve always lusted for a chart that matches the click throughs. So, you know how (from where) a person landed on a particular page and maybe also where they went from that page. As of now you can see the clicks but can’t trace the history. You know? This would be good to know b/c sometimes my blog gets hits from links on other sites but I can’t tell where, specifically, those hits are going.
January 8th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
thanks brother
January 9th, 2010 at 12:14 am
helpful.. thanks. Now i just need people to go to my blog.
January 9th, 2010 at 12:51 am
Yes, noticed about this and it pleases me:) Thank you for the improvements.
