Total Views
September 11, 2006
Just a quick note to tell you that I finally got around to adding a Total Views counter at the top of your stats page.
Podz had the great idea of showing your “Best Day Ever” so I added that, too. Enjoy!

First of all, thanks. Second, not sure if this is the place for this, but I have two areas, one has the date, the second is called Today. Today’s date is filled in with the information on referalls, etc, but the Today section has nothing.

Blog Stats–stats for “Yesterday” have disappeared. Also, now Search Terms=None for today. This can’t be true when Blog Feed shows almost 30% by search engines. Think something went wrong.

Great I really needed that… I use the Hemingway theme which does not have a any place to put a text widtet with a site meter. So, for me to know what my total views were I had to quickly change themes to have a look at what my stats were.
Now I don’t have to change my theme anymore.
Very good for us Hemingway lovers.

Excellent, thanks. My new theme Girl Theme, doesn’t allow adding widgets 😦 this is a great solution for me, (to keep track of views) cuz I love the theme, except for the lack of widget capabilities. 😉

“Best Day Ever” I got a 1262 score (probably my Bad Day ever). But great addition to the stats functions. Could you also add such as Number of Post, Number of Comments on our sidebar widget? Thanks.

Would be cool if “Best Day Ever” showed the date in parenthesis!

Oh, believe me, I was already keeping track of my best day ever. 🙂
Question: does “total views” include hits from spam? It’d be more useful if it didn’t. I don’t have a hugely popular blog, so I’m cognizant of the fact that Akismet’s 2,000 saves is actually a sizable chunk of my total hits. As flattering as it is to see a higher number, a more accurate one would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for that, how weird is it that today, (yesterday for you guys) was my best day ever! I just thought y’all were just congratulating me! 🙂 Anyway, I got so many hits because I was part of the 2996 tribute to 9/11 victims. Over 3000 bloggers honored 1 victim of 9/11. Check out my guy, Michael Morgan Taylor and the links to all the rest of the fantastic people we lost!

Thanks, I had to depend on the Blog Stats Widget for that. But also if we could have the Most read article (posts) ever or stats for all the articles (posts) that how many times have they been read till date. Currently, we have stats only for a month. So the numbers ususally drop down or remain static once after a month or so as it starts discounting the reading hits prior to the month.
LikeLike
Ah, see, I originally thought best day every meant the date and that I was seeing a day number, not the number of hits on the best day.
What the best day of your life? 42.
So it’s not like that at all. Wording can be pesky.

I would love to have more comprehensive analytics on my blog, or failing that, the ability to use javascript so that I can use something like sitemeter…
Analytics are actually an important part of the blogosphere. To the extent that wordpress prevents users from easily using analytics, wordpress keeps itself on the margins.
But I love this feature. Thanks!

Outstanding feature, thanks! And I agree with those who say having a total hits per post thingy would be cool, although I’d prefer to have that only visible to the blog owner.
FYI y’all, I think WordPress doesn’t include hits from bots, etc. It will include hits from human scammers, but if L.Ron and his minions are reading my blog, I’ll take the hit. I’m not proud.

This is a nice addition – and thank you – however I agree completely with Rohan Q. I would like to be able to analyse my stats and use them to inform my knowledge about my readers and how they visit my blog rather than simply look at the stats and feel good because I have lots of views on a post. Basically I’m after analytics. With the current javascript limitations (I know, I know the reasons it’s not permitted) it is still a big missing piece for me. With this ability though WP.com would be almost perfect…

I’m too busy working on a new blog to post much on the one that’s up right now, but when logged in tonite, instantly saw the new Stat feature. I like it alot.
Will it be a cumulative total, i.e. ‘Most hits of ANY day’ –or Most for previous month? This must have been some work to accomplish, so Thank You. Well done.

Hey, is it possible to get that piece of html code in order to display the statistics in the blog home page. I’m using Hemingway so there is no such readymade widget available. Someone mentioned that it’s no way possible to add sitemeter to hemingway, but it’s possible and i have done that in my blog. But the point is i want tto display statistics from WP and not from any 3rd party. Please help.

May I suggest, if it isn’t too late, possibly adding a stat that shows your average views per day? I think that would be really sweet and to me it doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult to create.
