I needed way to easily or is it lazily measure the traffic to me WordPress sites. BTW: All of my WordPress sites run on my free multi blog install.
This is what I did:
- Installed Ultimate Google Analytics plugin and made it available for all blogs (users).
- Got my unique Google Analytics ID
- Added the ID to Ultimate Google Analytics plugin.
- Downloaded the free desktop application called Google Analytics Adobe Air Application. (The software was in Beta when I used it the first time. The developer has discontinued any development and sold it on. There’s a product called Polaris that gives you one free account and an option to pay $15 for an upgrade for life. Not bad). With the free beta you can also add more than one blog / website. At the download link use the second use the second Softpedia Mirror.
All I do now is open the desktop application click here and there and see where all the traffic is coming from.
Have Fun
