Track Your Blog With SiteMeter Widget

SiteMeter has come out with a cool little toy, SiteMeter Widget, for the aid of bloggers who use SiteMeter. SiteMeter’s comprehensive real time website tracking and counter tools provide a blogger instant access to vital information and data about his site’s audience. With their detailed reporting, a blogger will have a clear picture of who is visiting his site, how they found the site, where they came from, what interests them and much more. MT Herald relies on SiteMeter for its traffic statistics. The WordPress SiteMeter plugin that provides this functionality even found a notch in the Top Ten WordPress Plugins. Tracking your blog’s performance and statistics is very much essential in further optimizing it for a much better show day by day. Moreover, SiteMeter Basic is a free service.

SiteMeter Widget

SiteMeter widget is technically a Yahoo Widget that is placed on the blogger’s PC desktop. It displays the count of the site’s traffic updated every six minutes so that you’re updated with your blog’s performance at any point in time. With a simple mouse click on the widget’s switch, the option can be changed from page views to visits. At midnight each night, it resets and starts all over again. It also has some fun little custom options like speech, fonts, etc., i.e., for those who prefer an audible notification, a voice can be enabled which will tell how many visits or page views the site has. The voice will notify every 6 minutes when the widget checks the site’s data. Yahoo Widgets on your PC is required prior to installing SiteMeter WordPress widget. Windows as well as Mac versions are available.

Get more details, installation instruction, download location etc., from SiteMeter’s weblog. MT Herald Dot Com thanks those talented people who got together to create this widget.
