StatPress Plug-In For WordPress

Although there are many ways to get readings for your site statistics, here I'll talk about the StatPress plug-in for WordPress.

This is used for real-time statistics, and can be used in addition to other data gathering implementation you may already be using, for example... Google Analytics.

It's easy to install and is accessible from the dashboard of WordPress for viewing many variations of visitor data coming to your site

Again, the statistic data is in real-time, so just refreshing your page after you've posted your content and shared it in locations of your choosing, you will see up to the second visitor information.

Some of the information available are:

• Country of origin
• browser and OS
• pages viewed
• site the visitor came to your site from
• search terms that brought them to your site

I've been using the StatPress plugin for close to a year now, so I've had time to experience its functions and benefits.

There are many tabs in the WP dashboard that in addition to the featured data above, graphical charts display visitor data in multiple categories.

I particularly like the data comprised from how your visitors arrived at your site.

If you comment on other sites that allow you to leave your site information, you will see that visitors have arrived at your site from sites where you have left comments.

The links to the sites where you left your comments are also visible and clickable in the stats data.

This viewpoint lets you know that commenting on high traffic sites brings visitors to your site and you won't be guessing how they arrived there.

Another data feature that is visible, are the search terms that brought the visitor to your site.

This is the wording that the visitor entered into a search engine that brought them to a certain page of your site, also giving you the page viewed that the visitor arrived at.

This is particularly useful when your writing posts or articles and keyword research has been performed as an effort for search engine optimization.

Let it be known that this plugin works on WordPress.org sites and although I have some WordPress.com sites, I don't see a way to install it there, but that may change in the future.

Go ahead, install the StatPress plug-in for WordPress and try it out. It's a convenient statistics gathering plugin viewable from your WP dashboard.

You can locate this plugin simply by searching for StatPress for WordPress.
