Can Anyone Give Me Some Help

[Daron]

Hello, I have been running a blog via WordPress.com and this past week I set up that blog on my website (WordPress.org).
I transferred some of my posts etc., but I don't see how I can get a site visitation chart on this new blog.

On WordPress.com a chart was shown with numbers on visitors both daily, weekly, etc. I can't find that link on my new blog.

If you know a technique to add that on my admin part I will appreciate it very much.

Thanks

Have you installed google analytics? It is a very good stat package that is free.

I appreciate your suggestion...I finally found "Go Stats" which was on WordPress's list and set that up. I've known about the one you suggested and since it probably covers more material, I'll try it also and see which one works best for me.

Thanks again...It's interesting that you replied because I can remember quite a time ago I had a question and you replied to it. You're very much appreciated for your helpfulness.

I've been known to answer a question or two on occasion. Once you've had a little while to play with "Go Stats" come back and let us know what you think. I haven't used it before.

I've been using Sitemeter for over two years and have also been using Google Analytics. It's funny, I actually forgot about my GA account and only recently rediscovered it.

GA gives MUCH more information and is super-detailed. It's also free compared to the $5/month sitemeter is charging me.

The one downside is that there is a lag time from when someone visits the site compared to when they show up in GA. I think a few hours. Sitemeter is up to the minute.

I wrote more about Google Analytics in a blog post today, part of my blog tools week:
