0 comments
Hi bloggy readers,
For many bloggers, checking blog traffic can be such a routine activity that consumes lots of their times, well, it happens to me also, and a lot. Every single day, when i woke up in the morning, i just couldn't help myself to start opening the Sitemeter (site traffic analyzer) just to check how many visitors that have visited my blog from 0 am until 6 am. I know that can be a little bit wacko for some of you who are not a blogger, but as a blogger, analyzing blog traffic will always be on the top of our to-do list, even if we don't have a to-do list.

Anyway, finding information about who have been visiting our blog can also hold the important role in analyzing our blog traffic more thoroughly. Well, that's because, by knowing about all the data, such as visitor jumping pages, entering pages, browsing length, region/area where visitors came from, and other important data that can help us in improving our blog traffic even better in the future.

As i searched around internet, i just discovered one great and useful widget that does everything as i said earlier in this post, to track visitors data in a real-time mode and it's called FeedJit By adding this widget in your blog, can deliver you the newest data regarding the visitors of your blog directly from the sidebar of your blog.
