How to Track Wordpress Blog Visits





1. Use the WassUp Wordpress plug-in. After installing this free widget on your blog, you can track your visitors in real time. That means that as soon as someone new visits your blog, their statistics will be counted towards your total number of visitors. As well as tracking the number of visits to your Wordpress blog, you can view details like which search terms visitors used to find your blog and even where in the word they are located, all of which can be accessed through your Wordpress dashboard.
2. Install the Wordpress.com Stats widget. With this free plug-in, you can view simple information about your visitor statistics, including the total number of visitors and which pages are most popular with readers. The plug-in presents the data it collects using a small chart in your admin bar if you are using Wordpress version 3.1 or later, meaning you don't have to sift through reams of statistics to find out what you need to know.

3. Set up Google Analytics. To do this, you will need to create a Google Analytics account and then paste your unique code into your blog homepage. Google will then start counting the number of visitors to your blog and you will be able to view statistics such as how long each visitor stayed on your blog, how many pages they looked at and which country or area they are from. Although Google Analytics is free, you will have to log into your account through the Google website to view your data; you can't do this through the Wordpress website.
