Best Blogging Platforms for Traffic Stats? (5 posts)

  • Hey, All —
    Doing some research. Would love to hear your take on the best platforms for traffic / search stats — WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, Tumblr — or if you’ve had a particularly good/bad experience with one. How easy was it for you to get the stats you wanted?
    Thanks!

  • @peggytlim I think it really depends on the type of blog and how well you promote it.  There are popular blogs that run on almost any platform.  I would say WordPress, Typepad, and Tumblr are probably the best.

  • @kristi-hines — Thanks, Kristi. To clarify — I meant e.g. like Google Analytics types stats / analytics  … on search terms, pageviews etc.

  • @peggytlim if you go with wordpress blog hosted on your domain, you can definitely get google analytics stats for your blog straight into your google analytics account. If you go with wordpress hosted wordpress blog i.e. yourblogname.wordpress.com, sorry there is no google analytics but they provide really handy stats straight into your wp dashboard. You can find STATS option in dashboard menu on left panel.

  • @moinshaikh @kristi-hines I think you two pretty well nailed this one. If you are using the Jetpack addon with a hosted wordpress install it has some stats available to you to view.
