Stalking

I've found that there is only one thing wrong with blogger. I love how easy it is to post and all sorts of other things. But there is one thing that makes wordpress superior. And that involves tracking.

On wordpress you can track who has come to your site and where they came from (i.e. google search, or from another wordpress member). This makes it kind of fun to know where your traffic is coming from, and you can see if your friends are looking at your blog.

But google now has a dashboard to track visitors for blogger, wordpress, your website.

It's called Google Analytics.

And now I know who's visiting my blog. Thanks guys! It's easy to use (just put in your URL) and if you already have a google account then it's a one-click sign up!

Here's a great explanation of how to use analytics with blogger!

It's a really great way to keep track of your visitors. But don't get too attached to it because I've heard a rumor that Google is going to install a Stats/tracking button inside blogger pretty soon. So, we'll have to get used to a new technology again :D
