But blocking you own IP is a good idea if you’re just starting out and not getting many visitors to get an idea of your tru stats.

When you do a search for that Problogger is ranked in the top 10 or so.

The page that ranks well for it is this one.

The reason it ranks well is because you left a comment using those words – not because of anything I’ve done. Read through the comments and you’ll see it’s not me ‘bashing’ your site – you’re the only one who mentioned it.

I’m sorry if this upsets you but I cannot be held responsible for ranking well for words that you use in your comments can I?

In terms of me moderating comments – I have a moderation system and when comments come in while I’m asleep (like yours) it takes a few hours for them to be approved. This is to combat comment spam but any legitimate comment gets approved.

I don’t know why you have to bring my parents into this – they are nice people who love their son. Please leave them out of it.

If you have any problems with ProBlogger or what appears on this site please email me. You don’t need to resort to this type of comment to get a response. All you’ve done is make me angry and less likely to take on board your concerns.

WHEN PEOPLE LOOK FOR STATS THEY SHOULD GET STATS. NOT BASHING. I USED TO HAVE TOP SITES STATS. BUT THE TEMPLATE IS DESTROYED AND ONLY THE PIXELS PORTION OF THE BLOG IS INTACT. SO I CAN’T GET THE STATS ANY MORE NOR CAN I POST ANY OTHER CONTENTS. LET THAT BE A LESSONS FOR THOSE THAT BUY PIXELS. THE LIFE OF THE PIXELS COULD BE VERY SHORT. NOT FIVE YEARS. BUT ON PIXELS HOMEPAGE AND NEW ERA WISP THE LIFE OF THE PIXELS IS ONLY ONE MONTH NOT FIVE YEAR. WHY AM I WRITING THIS PORTION OF THE COMMENT RELATED TO THE LIFE OF THE PIXELS. IT’LL BE SEEN ONLY BY NASTY PRO BLOGGER AND HIS NASTY MOTHER.

PROBLOGGER SHAME ON YOU FOR NEEDLESS BASHING TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG. SHAME ON YOU .

For purity of stats and to be safe, AdSense publishers should block ads….

From analyzing your stats, you can quickly determine the most effective time to post a new blog entry for maximum exposure.

Are you frustrated because you cannot 100% trust Google Analytics’ numbers? Well, first of all, forget the idea that there’s such a thing as “100% accuracy” with web statistics – but here’s an idea if you’re using WordPress as a…

While I try to be conscious of how often I check my site — I tend to check it to send people references to previous posts & then of course there is actual composing, managing posts & comments, and viewing your front page to make all is well…and over time it can really add up & skew stats.

If you or any of your loyal readers know…I’d love to know…

Thanks…

Then I filter my stats (I use awstats) so that it ignores anything with my signature.

To change your useragen in firefox, first, go to the About dialog, then copy your current user agent in the clipboard.

type “about:config” in the browser and hit enter.

click with the right button of the mouse and create a new string entry called: “general.useragent.override” with the string value of the content of the clipboard, plus your added string signature.

As simple as that.

I do that to every firefox browser on any computer I use so that my stats aren’T skewed.

Pretty clever huh? hehehehehe

if( !is_preview() && !$current_user->wp_capabilities['administrator'] ) {
include( ‘adsense_bottom.html’ );
}


wp_capabilities['administrator'] ) {
include( 'adsense_bottom.html' );
}
?>


I check my statistics often but always wonder how many hits are actually unique and how many are my own. It is especially frustrating for new blogger’s because of low traffic levels.

Thanks for sharing.
