Summarize More
February 8, 2008
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.
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. 😉

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? 🙂

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 🙂

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

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

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

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.

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!
