Wordpress Stats Plugin

Dubbed Automattic Stats (or Wordpress.com Stats), it has been out less than a week and it shows great promise and was developed by Andy, a well known wordpress developer. I’ve started using it and it’s the way. If you can trust Wordpress then you can trust their stats. Here’s why it’s cool…

  • It works wherever your Wordpress is hosted.
  • It’s central. You can check the stats for all of your blogs in one place.
  • It’s easy on your host. Your server doesn’t have to ask our server for raw data each time you browse the reports.
  • It’s fast. Their servers can talk directly to the stats database and display the results unaffected by the loads and limits of your server.
  • It’s quite reliable.
  • It’s future-proof. Whenever they update the reporting interface, add features, improve graphs, fix bugs, etc., you don’t have to upgrade your plugin.
  • It’s ready now.

Here’s where you get it, and here is what it looks like.

Best Wordpress Stats Plugin


Installing this stats plugin is much like installing Akismet, all you need is to put in your API Key and the rest is automatic. Once it’s running it’ll begin collecting information about your pageviews, which posts and pages are the most popular, where your traffic is coming from, feed stats and what people click on when they leave. It’ll also add a link to your dashboard which allows you to see all your stats on a single page.

  2. Question is… does it work on yours? I keep getting redirected to dashboard.wordspress.com

  3. You it works pretty well for me. It’s suppose to redirect you to “your” global dashbord on wordpress.com.

    You sure you have your correct API key. There is nice feedback options on this new stats plug in. Does anyone else have a issue?

Amsterdam, totsiens

Amsterdam, totsiens
I loved Amsterdam. I can do nothing but rave about how great it is. I most likely should be complaining about how expensive or how cold the weather was, but all I want to do is revisit this wonderful city with it’s whirling bikes and cobbled alley ways. One thing I really loved about Amsterdam was [...] read more

Torchlight, Diablo 3 killer?
I’m making a ridiculous statement right out the gates and oddly so because Diablo 3 has not even been released yet. Why say it’s a killer? That’s because Torchlight is exactly what you’d expect the next Diablo to be like. From the start Torchlight submerges you in a neat new world, instantly throwing you into the [...] read more

Version 4
An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more
