The five Wordpress plugins listed below, when used in conjunction with your
blog statistic tracker tools, can tell you a lot about the people who visit your blog and what they do while they're visiting. You can use that information to make your blog even better and grow it even more!
The Referrer Detector Wordpress plugin automatically detects where vistitors to your blog come from. This gives you the ability to set up specific greetings for different kinds of visitors. For example, if a visitor arrives from
Digg or
StumbleUpon, you could greet them with a request to Digg or Stumble your post.
For a quick snapshot of your blog's performance, the Wordpress.com Stats plugin is the perfect tool. Rather than taking the time to log into your blog statistic tracker, you can simply view a number of statistics right from your Wordpress dashboard.
When an ordinary contact form just won't do, try the Best Contact Form Wordpress plugin, which will allow you to learn more about the people who fill out your blog's contact form than ever before, including the keywords they typed into a search engine to find your blog, the landing page on your blog they arrived on, and more.
The Search Meter Wordpress plugin allows you to track what your visitors are searching for on your blog and whether or not they're successful in finding what they're looking for. It also allows you to publish a list of the most popular searches on your blog.
This Wordpress plugin automatically reviews the content of a blog post a visitor is reading and appends a list of other posts that other visitors read in addition to the post the visitor is currently reading with a heading that says, "Visitors who read this post also read,". It's a great way to increase page views and get an idea of what content visitors are reading.
