Another Blog Analytics Tool

I’m a pro-blogger (I make money by blogging about certain things in certain posts, such as this one), so I like to monitor my traffic, create posts that are helpful and will get “up there” in the search engine results. I am not, however, a MANIACAL pro-blogger. I have not dissected my blogs into little pieces and inspected them in a petri dish. There are some folks who have made a science out of pro-blogging. I’m not one of them. I guess that’s why I’m not as successful. But I don’t care. I don’t like analyzing stuff like that.

I will admit, however, that some analytics are fun to toodle around with. :D I love looking at the search engine words or phrases that lead people to my blog. I get a LOT of hits like these: “are ladybugs poisonous to cats,” or “hand lotion eating cat,” about “how to remove leg wax from walls,” about “i want to flip the wires on a lightswitch, how do i not electrocute myself” and “how to tell if your shoes smell.” Oh yeah, there’s a fun side to blog analytics!

I admit, it is important to keep tabs on what your readers like. One such tool I have recently encountered is Blog Copy. It looks relatively new. Basically, you register for the site, install a piece of HTML coding into your blog, and sign in to see stats. BlogCopy monitors all the stuff on your blog that readers copy (both text and images) and paste and share to other sites (such as pasting quotes on their blog, or entering the text into a search engine). The technology blows my mind- you can monitor what people copy and paste from the website?! It’s all based on “user behavior,” which seems to be very “in” these days. BlogCopy generates the data, and shows the stats to you in your account.

BlogCopy is free to use. I haven’t heard a whole lot of chatter or reviews about BlogCopy yet. The website template looks just like the Twitter template. I’m still learning about how BlogCopy is able to monitor this data… apparently, they are the only ones who monitor the “copy and paste” aspect of websites.

Check it out, if you wish. Just another tool to micro-manage your blog analytics! Remember- ALWAYS backup your blog before adding or changing code or plugins!!
