Blog Tracking Plugins - Where to Find them Free
from:Deb St. George, Publisher, GettingToSuccess.com
A blog tracking plug-in is an add-on for a visitor's browser that allows the browser to display numerous kinds of content from the blog's homesite. There are different types of plug-ins for different sites and different features. Here's a few:
Rockbox, as a firmware for audio/digital players, uses plug-ins
Email servers use plug-ins to encrypt and decrypt email, or sending oversized attachments to the email
Graphics software uses plug-ins to reinforce its ability to process images and stand file formats
Media players have plug-ins to apply filters for appropriated viewing and support file formats
Internet web browsers have plug-ins so they are able to play videos and run presentation formats
Some content management systems on the web use the plug-in to increase serviceability (such as blogs).
As you can see, blogs have to have plug-ins if they are trying to show extra content that the visitor's browser couldn't handle.
Open application programming interfaces (API's) supply a standard interface, letting third parties create and design plug-ins to interact with the website (also known as a host application). A steady API lets third party plug-ins continue functioning as the beginning version distorts and changes, and to broaden the life-cycle of archaic applications.
Here's a few sites that offer free blog plug-ins and counters for your use (but there are dozens more online if you search on any search engine) :
http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/ecommerce-tracking-plugin/ - MailChimp Ecommerce has a tracker plugin to enable you see the growth of your ROI (return on investment - the profit you get to equal out how much you invested) email campaigns. By linking the MailChimp API to any shopping cart for e-commerce, you can see the clicks on your email advertisements, go to your site, and see if they purchase anything. MailChimp then gathers and combines the information and exhibits it on your MailChimp report!
http://www.rockfuse.com/blog/6-wordpress-plugins-that-enhances-google-analytics-in-your-blog - Google Analytics is the top site for analyzing website traffic in the terms of serviceability on the internet. But in changing environments like blogs, we sometimes are not given a chance to use even half of the features given by Google Analytics; that's what the WordPress plug-in is for.
http://blog.statcounter.com/ - Statcounter explains in detail how to enter the coding for their counter into your Myspace blog HTML (hypertext markup language - a set of rules and tags for using in the development of hypertext documents), in compliance with Myspace standards.
http://www.royakhosravi.com/?p=159 - "Smart Counter" is an elementary counter which can track clicks, downloads, or hits.
http://wiki.blojsom.com/wiki/display/blojsom/Hit+Counter+Plugin - HitCounter Plugin generates two charts of hit count numbers arranged by date, then by flavor. One can also generate a bar chart picture of the hit counters (as of recent work, all flavors are supported). The plugin only lists a certain time period based on day timelines, and the leftover data can be placed into a bucket labeled 'rest'.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blog-stats-by-w3counter/ - Combines W3Counter's free web statistic service into your blog for WordPress. This plugin adds a Blog Statistics Dashboard to your administration area with statistics that are presently occurring for your blog. In order to access this service, you must have an account already opened at W3Counter.com.
As aforementioned, there are dozens, hundreds, even thousands of different sites to access free blog plug-ins, API's, and counters for your site, blog, and every other need you may have concerning your online well-being.
