New Stats System Live

My 3 day trip to Austin to code with Andy is now finished, and we just put the finishing touches on the first iteration of the stats system. The system has been collecting stats for about two and a half days now, and as it starts to fill out over the next few weeks you’ll start to see a lot more of the work that went into it.

Here are the key features of our simple blog stats system, which you can see by clicking “Blog Stats” in the menu on your Dashboard:

• The first thing you will notice is the daily pageviews graph, and you can hover over the lines to see the exact number of pages for that day.
• “Referrers” will show the top sites people clicked from to get to yours.
• “Top Posts” let’s you know the most popular posts on your blog for that day.
• Finally “Search Engine Terms” will show how people find your blog on the search engines.
• The stats are almost live, they update every 5 minutes or so.

Our core focus for this first iteration was just getting the most frequently asked for features in place with a highly scalable system. We’ll be expanding the features based on your feedback in the future, so use that feedback button!
