Earlier i had posted about suggesting blogger and also the top ten ideas. What came out of these suggestions was that there was a need for analytics for blogger blogs. Requirement for page counts and detailed analytics per post.

Blogger has replied to this request and started analytics for blogger. This feature is in beta stage and is not available to every user. For those who have access to this feature might see a new link to Stats next to the Monetize link in the Blogger Dashboard.

The Stats shows stats specific to your blog. What it brings to you is a whole lot of data which you can analyze and use it to improve your blog in some way. It is equivalent to saying that all your google analytics are shifted to your blogger dashboard.

Stats Overview

The Stats Overview diaplays the overall stats of the blog:

Visitors: Displays the number of visitors that visited your blog in the specified time

Links: It shows the number of links that referred to your blog.

Searches : Shows the number of searches done to find your blog.

Posts: Shows the number of posts which atleast one visit in the specified time interval.

Popular Posts: This is a feature is which is quite cool because it displays the posts in decreasing order of their visits.

Countries: Displays a visual map of the globe and shows from where various visitors have come from.

This is just an overview, you get detailed stats as well.

In the detailed analysis you can get information about the web browsers, computer platform used by your visitors and many more stats.

What is needed now is the way to add stats like page count on the web pages as well.
