Not so long ago I wrote about a killer new stats system that will get you addicted. This post is to follow up and tell you a little more, since when I wrote the last post I have been accepted (finally) and am on my best way to become totally addicted to Woopra. I want to show you how much information is to be gained from their application and what it can do to help you rank better in the search engines.
So let’s get into it and see what this baby does for us. First of, it is always great to know who refers traffic to us so that we can go and say thank you were applicable plus see where our efforts to get traffic pay off.
Under My Referrers you will be able to see how much traffic you got from a referrer, who sent you the most traffic and a nice nifty graphic which indicates the portion of search engine traffic to your blog.
This is indispensable information when you are targeting certain keywords with search engines. It helps to see whether we are on track and where we can optimise our performance some more.
The My Searches function is one of my favourites. It allows me to see where I rank well in the search engines. I can then use these keywords and build link clusters to intensify my ranking some more.
If I click on the Keywords tab within the same function window, I can see which keywords are ranking the strongest and build on that.
This is an invaluable tool for any niche marketer too, since ranking for keywords will be the make or break of your niche website.
The live stats of Woopra even allow you to interact with your readers while they visit your site. It works too as I found out on my first day.
The only thing I couldn’t figure out yet is how the visitor sees that you are available.
You can further see how much traffic you had from which country, check out your bounce rate, page views and averages over all time visitors. See what the most popular browsers are used by your visitors which can help you to optimize your resolution and screen if you are technical savvy. On the Geo Overlay tab it will tell you exactly how many visitors you had from each country by hovering over the map.
The whole system is like having Google Analytics on steroids to be honest and I just love my live stats. The great thing is, the software lives on my computer whether I’m logged into my site or not.
You can see Woopra from within your blogs admin too if you add their Plugin, but to be honest I never even bothered looking there. I’m having too much fun looking at all the figures.
Have you tried Woopra since my last post and if yes, how do you like this program? Feel free to add your experience, opinion or disregards.

Wow, the tool looks really awesome with its slick design and i hope it works as well collecting some nifty stats
Btw, could you please add some direct link to tool within somewhere in your post. I could not see it anywhere.
@ Tajim: Thank you for the feedback. You are right, I have added the link now in the first paragraph. Hope this helps.
I found your site from a search for Woopra. Great site/blog, by the way. I’ve been using Woopra for about 6 weeks now and cant’ imagine being without its. As you say the amount of info that’s available to you is mind-blowing and a massive help in search engine optimisation. Like you I’m a bit puzzled as to how best use the “chat” function without scaring the daylighst out of visitors, but I would recommed Woopra to anyone. Brilliant!!
