I have used ClusterMaps and I agree with you Steve about how cool it is when you see that someone from another country has stopped by my site. Adding Stat Counter was easy and I like the data I can get. Eric Strommer´s most recent blog post.. Days 3-5 of 30DBBB

I have a Clustrmap, Live Feed, and Stat Counter already on my site. I like the live feed to see where people are coming from and where they go when they leave. I'm not convinced I need anything else but decided to go ahead and try the Google Analytic. As I was fumbling around in my Edublog trying to figure it out I saw a link to Sue Water's blog explaining how to set it up. That made it very easy! So, now on to challenge 3 on this 11th day!

Day 2 on the 8th day… This is definitely going to be a long-term project.

I looked at my StatCounter stats and was reminded that I really do need to pay attention to how my blog looks on Internet Explorer. Since I work on a Mac at home that will have to happen at the university. I’ve used StatCounter for quite a while and I like it. It’s fun to see visitors come in from different countries.

As part of my improving my use of statistics for Day 2, I installed Google Analytics. That should prove interesting to watch.

I’ve used Google Analytics installed for about 6 months and here’s what I’ve learned:
1. I receive the largest number of visits when I post a link to a new post on twitter or plurk.
2. My most popular post was “Managing the Modern Classroom” http://milobo.edublogs.org/2008/07/14/managing-the-modern-classroom/ with “Laptop Thoughts” and “Keeping Paper Safe for Students” as close seconds.
3. Most of my visits come from the US, though a surprising number come from Australia.
4. Not many find my site via a keyword search. (Maybe something to work on?) while most come from my website or from twitter and plurk)

Interesting to look at the stats – it opens up a whole avenue of questions and gives lots of answers as well.

I find the best use for my stat site is to see incoming links. I don't have more than 10 people coming to my site a day so I have much less data to analyze. I use stat counter which is good because of the way it tracks incoming links and landing pages. David LaMorte´s most recent blog post.. 30 Days To Being a Better Blogger

Playing catch up, but learned that Edublogs has a Google Analytics plugin and it was easy to set up. Looking forward to getting more information about traffic to the site. I also enjoy reading the comments to your challenge posts. Often, I learn new things there too. Thanks! Michelle Krill´s most recent blog post.. Keeping Kids Safe.

Smiles, I already had a sitemeter but I looked into it a bit more.

Interesting that my number one state of readers is ILLINOIS! (just seems right, you know??)

Thanks for all you are doing, Steve. I look forward to the next 28 days of info.
