My Woopra Review

Posted on | May 29, 2008 |

Funny thing happened after my little rant  last week.  I checked my email when I got home last Friday evening, and lo and behold was a message telling me my site has been approved by the Woopra folks.  The setup was pretty straight-foward since I’m using Wordpress as my engine, although a little hacking was required to add a php tag that Woopra looks for to my template.  A 10-minute investment and I was off and running.

Overall, I like Woopra’s client.  I’m still learning what they track, and how they track things, and they do provide a ton of information to sift through.  So far, it looks like Woopra is totally focused on measuring traffic to/from the web site, and doesn’t focus at all on my feeds.  I’m still looking for a solution that would show me my overall impact – how many folks are reading posts, how many are coming to the site, how many are coming via search, etc.  My search continues, and I appreciate the Woopra folks responding so quickly to my whiney rant.

 

Some interesting stats I’m seeing:

  • 69% of my viewers are using IE7.  Only 17% are using Firefox.
  • 54% are using Windows Server 2003, and 21% are using XP.  This one surprised me.
  • One of my most popular posts continues to be one of my interviewing tips posts.
