Joost de Valk pinged me this morning about a new plugin he wrote called blog metrics. I really like it. It gives you some great stats about your site.
Looking at these stats you can see Rebecca Kelley and Neal Patel both out comment bait me !
I will let it speak for itself: (click on images for full image)
- 43 Comments. What say you?
- RSS
- Delicious
- StumbleUpon
- Furl
- Digg
Wow. Dillsmack outranks you too
I can’t believe you have a 31 comments-per-post average. Then again, it’s a weighted average taking into account all the early posts that probably had much fewer comments.
Would be interesting if Joost de Valk adds a median score.

Numbers and stats are always lots of fun. This looks cool.

Very inspiring post. I love how shoemoney has like an insane amount of trackbacks. People love to write about him.
[Reply]
Thats because Shoe rocks

Would be interesting…in a couple of months when coming back to these stats and seeing the updated version. I’m sure Dillsmack won’t outrank him then
[Reply]
that is a lot of trackbacks, almost 3 a post
[Reply]
Very interesting display of ego… oops I mean stats!
[Reply]

[Reply]
Would you really want a median? or just a std dev?
[Reply]

[Reply]
Holy shoe, thats alot of track backs.
[Reply]
3 a post? 32 a post.
[Reply]
Yeah nice job joost
[Reply]
Yes, they may write to our comment you, but then you get one in like the “Who should I Vote For” yesterday that gets 185 comments in less than 24 hours. That might bring up your total for the month.

WOW. Thats a lot of trackbacks. Im loving the detail on this. Time for me to go install
[Reply]
Any chance of getting some traffic data in there too? Like most loaded pages, funnel paths etc.
