Thom Allen Weblog: Use Your Site Stats To Write A Better Blog

  • Glenn · 2 years ago
    I use Counterize II and FireStats as my statistics programs with Google Analytics thrown in as well.

    I have a hard time staying on one theme. I'm on the Shotgun approach and blog about the bad bots I get (I tend to look at the logs a lot), officers down and then whatever floats my boat at the moment.

    The most common search terms I get are "public showers" and "communal showers". There's only so much you can blog about those. :)

    Great tips, Thom. Another great service is hittail.com. I like it for the long tail stats it gives me.

    @Glenn, I've never tried Counterize III, I'll have to look into that. I agree, bots drive me crazy.

    @Kim, hehe, uh, you could almost create a videocast about showers, call it the ShowerCast. Just funnin.

    @Douglas, I'll look at hittail.com. I love the book the Long Tail, it was great. Seeing the fringes is exciting.

    Great comments so far everyone. Keep them coming.
