Wordpress Reports: Useful Plugin #5

Posted by

One great plugin that I access several times a day is the Wordpress Reports plugin. The plugin notes “Added support for multiple Google Analytics accounts” as part of the release for the current version which is 0.6. I also don’t know if it supports WP 2.1 that was just released. Anyway.

WP reports provides a way to integrate the results from both Analytics and Feedburner into a simple one page report that can keep you uptodate on the last seven days traffic. There is a pretty good jpg at his website that provides an overview of the top of the Reports page.

In summary though, the stats covered include:-

Daily Visits, Daily Pageviews, Avg Pageviews per Visit,
Daily Circulation, Inbound Sources, Outbound Links,
Popular Content, and New & Returning.

It’s a pretty handy tool, however for serious statistics, perhaps you need to look elsewhere. Feedburner provides more stats than you can see in the report presented here, and Google Analytics really does provide a wealth of stats, most of which are absent from the reports page. However, the tool provides a comprehensive overview for those who are obsessed about their stats and need to check them frequently! You can login to your blog and get the stats quickly and conveniently without having to login to either Analytics or Feedburner.

Overall, I installed the plugin. I like it and I’m planning to keep using it!

January 2007 alternate income update!

Ok, guys. Here’s January’s results table. Let’s see. I won’t bore you with the little details just yet, but I will outline the primary means of generating income.

1. Payperpost was good to me in both December and January. I found a lot of good Tech, Finance and Blogging posts that I could do in both of these months. Split between two different blogs. I don’t want to post too many of these kinds of opps as I think it distracts from the message of this blog.

2. Google didn’t generate much for me at all this month. I guess some of my older content is just getting stale. Time for new stuff.

3. Text Link Ads both the website and a private sale have generated some decent income for January. I was able to sell a text link for a year, and found a new sponsor for the left top hand side.

4. The other big generator of income was in fact my bunch of dividend stocks that generated some nice end of year (pre-tax) funds. Thanks! I will go into that in a future blog.

5. The last category was a new one: the business loan. The annual interest payment came due for a two year private loan to my school that is still outstanding. The generated a nice interest payment. But it only comes once a year. I will explain some of these items in future posts.

Payperpost $187.25
Google $4.19
ReviewME/Other $32.63
Adbrite/Blogitive $0.01
Adlinks $20.98
Stockbroker $86.59
Hosting $0.00
Bank A/C Interest $13.97
Business Loan $307.69

Total generated was $653.31 for the month of January. It’s quite a jump overall since last month, but February can’t be as good. I guess I reached about 54% of my target last month. At the moment, my stats aren’t consistently presented. I’ll work on fixing that.
