Welcome To Your Data

Projects » WelcomeToYourData WordPress Plugin

What Does It Do?

The WelcomeToYourData plugin makes it easy to track all of your statistics data from Google Analytics, Google Reader, Feedburner, and WP SlimStats in 1 easy to use plugin. WTYD installs on both WordPress 2.7 andWordPress Mu 2.7!

WelcomeToYourData downloads and stores a number of different feeds into your WordPress database. WTYD downloads and stores:

All of your starred items from Google Reader

1. Your RSS feed’s statistics from Feedburner
2. Visitor’s average time-on-site from Google Analytics
3. Visitor’s bounce rate from Google Analytics
4. Percent of new visitor’s from Google Analytics
5. Number of total visitors from Google Analytics
6. Number of events per visit from Google Analytics

WTYD also figures out peers into your blog database and figures out:

1. Number of posts per month
2. Number of comments per week
3. Total number of words written per month
4. Average words per post written per month

WTYD also lets you view and correlate all of this data in an easy to use graph in the WordPress admin console. Check out the sample graph on the bottom of my About page.

Other Utility Functions

WelcomeToYourData also provides an API for displaying a list of your starred items from Google Reader, as well as a list of recently popular content on your blog.

The following code displays 5 posts/pages that have been the most popular over the past 7 days, with green/red arrows describing if the posts have become more or less popular in that time.

[code lang=”php”]
$wtydPlugin->popular_posts(7, 5, true);
[/code]

The above code would display a list like the following sans title:
