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)

If I could – starting over 
{ 44 comments… read them below or add one }
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.
nice job from joost
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.
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
that is a lot of trackbacks, almost 3 a post
Very interesting display of ego… oops I mean stats!
congrats on the impressive stats!
Would you really want a median? or just a std dev?
Thx
Holy shoe, thats alot of track backs.
3 a post? 32 a post.
Yeah nice job joost
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
Any chance of getting some traffic data in there too? Like most loaded pages, funnel paths etc.
I would like to see traffic data as well. Have everything in one sitting!
Sweet plugin!
I A lot of great functionality!
Exactly – pure comment bait!
The reason I read this blog is to pick up great marketing ideas… I thought this was a great one.

Really cool plugin, uploaded and found people almost write more in my comments than I do myself!

Think this will be a definate plug in to use when i get rid of my temporary blog and have something a bit better set up.
Just another set of stats to get obsessed about.
I simply found your website, I book marked it and i am reading the particular discussions. I witout a doubt like it. Intriguing subject in any event . people look at this. I come because of this mindset that will find comments as akin of being attentive.
