Well, with WP 2.7, there has been a substantial improvement in the statistics view. We recommend viewing your monthly hits. It gives you a great idea about the peaks in your volume.
Now the tough part comes…trying to figure out “why” certain high periods were high and possibly how to replicate it.
Post Popularity
Another interesting statistic is which posts bring the most views. Here you can see the most popular posts for the blog http://counterecon.wordpress.com
Everyone has to decide whether they are writing the blog primarily for themselves of primarily for others. However, if a person would like more popularity, one could write a related article to the most popular ones. In this way you can let your readers tell you what they find interesting. Following this advice, the blog author should write a few more articles on “Writing Bias” and “Milton Friedman.” These two posts combined represent about 12% of the traffic to the site. This site has 45 articles. So only two articles (which is roughly 5% of the site) represents 12% of the traffic in this case. How much it makes sense to redirect your efforts to popular articles would depend how important popularity is combined with how much more their is to write on the subject and how much you want to provide more coverage to these areas.
We always simply published our other blogs and then allowed the search engines to find them. However, we have since learned that you can register your blogs with a variety of directories. We decided to try this out and to register infoknowledge.wordpress.com with Technorati. The process is relatively simple. First create an account, then enter the blog you want to claim. (you will need to verify the email send to your address).
Next you will have to login to your blog from the same brower you are using to register in Technorati. After the validations steps are completed ,you will be asked to enter in a description and your keywords.
Save this and you have registerered your blog. We will check back in a few weeks to see if registering several of our blogs increased traffic to our blogs.
