More Stats Charts
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.

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.

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.
LikeLike
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.
