Blogger.com now gives Blog Traffic Analytics

Just read about Blogger Stats and so happy that this feature is now available in Blogger.com. Just visit your  Blogger in Draft dashboard and there's a stats link there where you can check out the traffic that your blog is having.

What I like about this feature is that it reduces the need to have 3rd party analytics tool installed and measure how you are doing with your site.

Information you will find in your Blogger Stats dashboard includes:

1. Overview - get info on your pageviews, top posts, audience, and traffic sources for the time period. It also has real-time stats update. Wow!
2. Posts - pageviews of your top 10 blog posts and pages.
3. Traffic sources - referring urls or websites and search keywords that drives traffic to your site.
4. Audience - shows pageviews by country, browser type, and operating system.

Look forward to more features from Blogger.com. My wish is for Blogger.com to improve on its commenting system and make it more social network friendly (sign-on your comments with Twitter, Disqus, Facebook, Google Buzz, Yahoo, among others).

3 Tools to help increase your Twitter interaction

Search engines today like Google and Yahoo look into Twitter as a resource of real-time results as recommended by users. This makes it important for bloggers who would like their content become widespread to share quality content and interact. This helps increase your network size as you proactively connect online and mingle relevantly with active users.

There are three tools that I find valuable for one to become effective in using Twitter. This includes:

1. Hootsuite
   This allows you to manage multiple Twitter accounts. I also added my Facebook fan pages for various websites (rather than Facebook personal profile) for simultaneous update. You can schedule tweets at a later time too.
   
   It has statistics that you can use to monitor which of the links you tweeted merited the most number of clicks.
   
   It can also promote your latest blog post as you can add RSS feeds.
   
   
2. Twitoaster
   You can use this tool to monitor which of your tweets elicited a retweet and response from followers. You can post follow-up replies from their site too (example). I posted this at the sidebar of my blog with the intent of encouraging readers to check it out and join the discussion if interested without necessarily leaving this blog.
   
   
3. TwitterCounter
   This is similar to MyBlogLog that you can add at your sidebar where you will be able to see members checking out your blog. This is a great tool if you want to connect with other Twitter users who passed by. Effective too if you want to see how your Twitter profile is growing. (example)

If you have other tools to suggest, please post a comment and share. Are you on Twitter? Let's connect! (my id is digitalfilipino)
