How to monitor blog traffic in real time
Monitoring your blog traffic is essential. The purpose is to know the volume of unique visitors and pageviews in a particular time of the day and to know where your visitors come from and what post they are actually reading. Here's a tip on how to monitor your blog traffic in real time.
The procedure is pretty simple and I believe you guys are already familiar with Site Meter (www.sitemeter.com), a website that provides all the essential data, statistics, and reports needed to know who is visiting your site, how many pages have been viewed, and detailed information about each individual visitor.
The steps:
1. For first time users, go to Site Meter and sign-up for a free account. Fill-up all the required information, among others:
- Your site's URL;
- Your site's name;
- Your desired code name (username to login if you opted to go Private);
- Your current time.
3. At the 'General' section, click 'Summary' to know visitor count and page views.
4. At the same section, click 'Who's On?' to know who is in your site.
Doing this will lead you to an improved blogging experience.
