When running a Classifieds site or a site in general, it is not only interesting but useful to know who is visiting your website, where these visitors come from and what they do on your site. You can use this information to optimize your site for keywords, targeted demographics and more. This is what we usually call as Search Engine Optimization, SEO in short.
Since WordPress do not come with any visitor statistics, every classifieds site owner has to implement and manage his own solution to track visitors and display statistics. And with this Statpress Reloaded plugin comes to the rescue. Yes, there are other available wordpress stats plugins but I find Statpress Reloaded intuitive and useful enough for my Classipress wordpress classifieds site.
Statpress Reloaded will show you in real time statistics about your blog. It collects information about visitors, referring links, spiders, search keywords, feeds, browsers, OS and etc. Once StatPress is activated it immediately starts to collect statistical information. Its Spy feature lets you see your visitors actions while they are browsing your site or check which are the preferred listings, pages and categories.
And like any other wordpress plugins, installation is easy. Just search for it in your Plugin dashboard, install and there you go. In the Dashboard menu you will find the StatPress Reloaded page where you can see statistical data in overview or detailed information. StatPress Reloaded also includes a widget that you can simply add to a sidebar or you can place it anywhere in your wordpress based classifieds site using easy PHP code if you can’t use widgets.
