Summarize More

Here is another feature from the “meant to fully support that a long time ago” department.

Summarized stats are now available for referrers, search terms, and clicks.

Clicks

Many people find the new results to be longer and more enjoyable. Your experience may vary.

Oh, and a tip for the truly stats-obsessed: we don’t update the database more than once in every three minutes, so you should count to 180 before hitting refresh. :wink:

    I saw this feature before this entry and I love it.

  2. raincoaster

    Oooh, thanks!

    Uh, and thanks for the tip. How fast can I count?

  3. Raph

    hey cool!

    Lol stats obsessed XD

  4. Anshul

    Ha ha….

    177..178..179.. F5

  5. deftoned

    I had been hoping for something like this! Thank you!

  6. museditions

    Oh, excellent, Andy! Those things had gone away, and being able to resurrect them for “All Time” is great. I’ve gotten some search terms repeatedly, and it’s nice to be able to look at the results of those all together. And then there are the bizarre ones. How do they find me and when? You’ve given us a new, useful tool. Only once every three minutes? What am I supposed to do all that time? :)

  7. straw000

    You guys should have done it a long time ago! This is such a cool feature! : )

    Three cheers for you guys! : ) Thx a lot!

  8. Sunnite

    I love the “all time” feature, its great and so useful. I do remember seeing this asked quite some time ago indeed, in the forum, by one lady politician who said she wanted an “all time top post” feature (too lazy to do the search but it was in there) ! Good move :)

  9. C T Hall

    Impressive, and good to know about that 3 minute refresh rate :)

  10. Johan

    That’s great! But for me page views is more important.

  11. the rufus

    Oh, that’s why I only get higher figures every three minutes - I wondered already about that delay :)

  12. Julio Fragoso

    meanwhile here

    F5… …180sec… …F5…

    good to know that.

    thanks Andy and WPGuys

  13. Judy O'Connell

    Very nice, very helpful, very interesting too! Thanks for adding this feature, especially “All time”. Really puts a different perspective on how information ebbs and flows around the blogosphere.

  14. dinsan

    very helpful :)

  15. | Balu |

    hmm interesting!

  16. pkab

    Thanks for new All time statistics feature.
    Could you also provide information from categories perspective?
    so I can create a list of posts per category.

    Cheers.

  18. dandelionsalad

    Thanks, I love stats. This also makes it easier to find a particular post from some time ago.

  19. nederhop074

    yes yes!! very nice thanks!

  20. Kim S. Clune

    I can now see how many times people have searched variations on the term “foot licker” and found me? Do I want to know?

    Fabulous feature otherwise! Perhaps I could focus on how many times folks DIDN’T use that term. ;) WordPress, I love you.

    180, 179, 178, 177, 176, 175, 174, 173, 172, 171, 170, 169, 168, 167, 166, 165, 164,163, 162, 161,160, 159, 158, 157, 156, 155, 154, 153, 152, 151, 150, 149, 148, 147, 146, 145, 144, 143, 142, 141, 140, 139…

    Brilliant.

    Will give more ammo for a lecture (and post) that I’m planning on ‘how blogging will improve your career’. It will shown how bloggers can really learn about the world out there and their impact on it.

    Thanks once again.

    It is cool. thanks for all refreshs!

  25. 37prime

    Getting better all the time.

    Is it possible to have an AJAX version of the stats?
    That’s because there’s no Flash support yet on the iPhone.
    Apple, get to work!
    Adobe, you too!

  26. Tanasije Gjorgoski

    Can we get ‘home page’ views stat also? Please?

  27. archiearchive FCD

    Great idea - only one thing - could you update every minute? Not that I am stats-obsessed or anything :)

    I love WordPress!

  28. Poppy

    I’d say “thanks” but my wedge of WP, clearly, doesn’t work the same way as others’ and this feature close to…bottom straw. So I’m off to look for help.

  29. Nita

    I had no idea that wordpress.com was my top referrer! Thank you!! And as for the search terms summary, that’s a great help and so is the clicks summary!
    Thanks for this feature.

  30. Ruymán

    Only one word: Fantastic!

  31. anitz

    *rolf* you guys know me! Stats nuts. And you are just turning into such a great load of people, I think I will have to leave WordPress if you keep working at this pace… because I am so very hooked and find I am ignoring other things…

    Anyway, this is great news to close some of those “marketing” holes we might otherwise oversee. Thanks!

    I blog in German, Ich blogge auf deutsch.

  32. The Bagel of Everything

    Thanks! I’ve been doing it manually by changing the url. A clickable link is much more convenient.

  33. Roads

    Can you please add that excellent ‘week, month, quarter, year, all time’ functionality to the ‘hits’ count as well?
    It might be quite interesting to have for ‘comments’, too.

    Many thanks.

  41. Mama Kelly

    I found this feature the other day when doing some research on my stats and I literally squealed with delight. You guys (and gals) over at WordPress are just awesome.

  42. kazik

    Now, that’s what i was looking for for a long time :) Thx!

  43. cjwriter

    Thanks, Andy. This is a great addition; certainly much easier than changing it in the address bar like I’ve been doing. :)

    One thing: when I click on search terms, if I select anything over 30 days, many of the search terms disappear, especially ones only used once or twice… is it supposed to do that? It doesn’t for the top posts which have only been viewed a couple of times.

  44. christopher

    three minutes! what iff that three minutes is when a new record is hit? LOL

    The stats are great for figuring out when I’m doing the right things, I can’t imagine anyone needing a faster re-cap than you guys give us—thanks!
