Jake’s Life

My only goal for this month’s visitor traffic was to beat last month’s. Even though I’m right down tot he wire here, and I know that I haven’t been browsing around and commenting much lately, I’m only 33 hits away from it. I hate to micro-manage, but shit people come on!

For those of you who use Wordpress I found a great plugin called FireStats that lets you view your visitor stats right from your Wordpress backend. It covers the total page views, views today, visits, visits today, top ten of referrers (thanks Troystopher for being my number one this month btw), recent visitors’ IPs, search terms (why does Google tell people about my blog when they’re looking for A Boy’s Life…in Utah?!), popular pages, countries, OS, and a detailed hits table. It won’t break down daily, weekly, or monthly detailed stats like virtually all web host backends do, but it’s nice to have nonetheless.
