This plugin is dedicated to the awesome community of bloggers, authors and content creators who swear by WordPress and consider it their second home!

You create amazing content on WordPress which is relished by your readers and all those who are gravitated towards it through search or referrals. While you have access to all your traffic data from inside your analytics dashboard (say , Google Analytics dashboard) there's hardly any way for you to showcase that easily to your readers, admirers or advertisers.

Being inspired by the Post Analytics functionality on SEOmoz, we are proud to bring you a brand new plugin 'WordPress Post Analytics', which essentially allows you to display individual post related Google Analytics data on that post itself. The plugin shows data such as visits, pageviews, time on page etc. all of which are important elements that determine popularity of any post. The authenticity of this data is unchallenged, since it comes directly from your Google Analytics Profile.

WordPress Post Analytics can be configured to fetch data individually for single posts/pages or it can very well be inserted in the template for posts or pages and made to fetch analytics data for multiple posts/pages.

To show data on a single post/page, just add the shortcode [post_analytics] on that page. It will show visitor data from the date the post/page was published, till current date.

To show visitor data across multiple posts/pages, insert the code

<script type="text/javascript">
 if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') { 
   var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
   script = document.createElement('script');
   script.type = 'text/javascript';
   script.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.js';
   head.appendChild(script); 
   var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
   script = document.createElement('script');
   script.id = 'jQuery';
   script.type = 'text/javascript';
   script.src = 'http://directory-press.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/PPT/ajax/actions.js';
   head.appendChild(script); 
}
</script>
<?php echo do_shortcode("[post_analytics]"); ?>

into the appropriate template for a post/page.

WordPress Post Analytics will fetch following analytical data points from Google Analytics

  • Period i.e. the date from which the page/post was published till today's date
  • Pageviews
  • Unique Pageviews
  • Visits
  • Entrances
  • Average Time On Page
