Once you have created your new WordPress.com blog, you will need to add your new blog to your Google web masters account, generate and submit a site map, and register with search engines. After you have published a few posts and attracted some visitors some questions will begin to arise.
I’m always on the prowl for blogging tips and blogging tools. Lorelle’s post (see her quote below) caught my attention and an earlier Drupal announcement came to mind as well.
When I checked the site out I was impressed with the live tracking and web statistics capabilities of woopra and I’m sure other wordpress.com bloggers will want to install this system as much as I do.
I, the non-statistics watcher, am fascinated with the ability to look beyond the score card of the numbers and really get a clear picture of who is using my blog and why. I’d love to have this same feature on Lorelle on WordPress, but currently WordPress.com members are unable to add Javascript, thus can’t use Woopra. Maybe soon, if enough people ask. — Lorelle Van Fossen
Woopra’s revolutionary server architecture, combined with its intuitively designed client software, enables seamless tracking of visitors. Webmasters can track over 40 different statistical events and analytics. Never before has so much information been instantaneously available to Webmasters.
Most analytical and site statistics are updated once a day at the least, or several times during the day. With Woopra, you get live track of visitors coming and going and moving through your site. You get the stats now.
Woopra has so many features it’s difficult to share them all. Here is a short list. Use the link above for details.

At SiteMeter staff are working on a new feature; the ability to provide bloggers or sites with blog pages in particular, with data on RSS activity. One of the new RSS data points SiteMeter plans to offer with “Premium accounts” is the ability to know which feed readers your subscribers are using to access your content.
“So we need your help to narrow down the top 10 feed readers. Those that do not make it into the top 10 will be grouped into an “other” category. When you have a moment please take our survey.”
