I’ve updated the Feed Statistics plugin for WordPress to version 1.2; this update adds a “Top Feeds” page where you can see what the most popular feeds for your website are (e.g., main feed, category feeds, different feed formats). It shows a list of all of the feed URLs that your subscibers are requesting, and how many people are requesting each feed.

(Note: if you’re already running the plugin, this page will take some time to fully populate.)

This release also includes a fix proposed in the comments section by Nathan Pralle to better detect all of the different ways that feeds are accessed. Thanks Nathan!

To install this plugin:

• If you installed an earlier version, download the zip file of the latest version here, and overwrite feed-statistics.php in your blog’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
• If you’re downloading it for the first time, just copy it to that directory and activate it from the Plugin administration menu.

I’ve just uploaded a big update to the Feed Statistics plugin for WordPress. This new version allows you to track which posts your subscribers are reading and which links they’re clicking on. It also has better feed reader statistics, and a more organized administration menu.

See the updated homepage for a full writeup of the new features.

I’m working on an update to the Feed Statistics plugin for WordPress that will add the following features:

• The ability to track the number of views for individual posts in the feed
• Tracking of clickthroughs for links in your posts
• Better reporting of the feed readers used to access your feed

I’m running this new version on my blog right now to watch for bugs, and I’ll have a release ready in a day or two. Here are some previews of the new features:

Any requests for other stats to be tracked in the next version? One feature I’m already planning is allowing the stats for individual posts to be accessed and graphed over time.

I’ve released the next iteration of the Feed Statistics plugin for WordPress. This version (1.0.4) adds statistics on which Web-based feed readers your subscribers are using, which you can view on the Options > Feed Statistics page.
