There’s a neat new WordPress Plugin out called Blog Metrics that gives you a look at some important user stats you’re probably not seeing with any of your other tracking and metrics programs.
What Blog Metrics Does
Blog Metrics shows you overall stats like the number of posts you and any authors you allow to write for your site have made, the monthly average, and the average number of comments you and/or your authors generate per post.
It also shows your top commentators and a lot of other useful, neat data.
Basically it gives you yet another “picture” of whats happening on your site in one of the most important areas that your traffic analytics programs miss: the conversation.
From this data you can analyze how good, or bad, your ability to generate comments is. If you want more interaction, go check out the posts you’ve done well with and make future posts on those types of subjects. Popular posts are popular for a reason. And it’s not just the amount of traffic you should be tracking, but the comments as well.
