Whatcha Clickin’?

We’ve been tracking a bit of extra information on your blogs for the past few weeks and now we’re ready to show it to you: clicks. Whenever somebody clicks a link on your blog it should be counted. You can see the results on your Blog Stats page.

I really hate to write such a short news post but it’s just that simple. 🙂

Update: Blog user clicks should now be excluded and there is now a Top Clicks widget.

    Maybe you shouldn’t count our own clicks, just like you don’t count our own views.

    Something you could do is have a widget to show the “top referall links.” So those who want to can put a widget up to show which links refer to your blog the most.

    So it’s like the “top clicks” widget, but only instead of showing the top out going links it shows the top incoming links.

    If that makes any sense…
