Blog statistics for business — What to monitor and why

If you’re blogging for business, monitoring and analyzing your blog stats must become part of your blogging routine. Personally I use three primary tools to measure the effectiveness of my blog. I monitor my blog traffic with Google Analytics, review the least utilized, most promising keywords with HitTail, and use FeedBurner Pro to analyze my blog’s feed.

HitTail and Beyond

I recommend you go and check out the presentation - even if you don‘t have a spare $25,000 to spend on advertising. I haven’t seen one as slick and mind-catching in a while.

The Dollar Factory » Blog Archive » Improve web site traffic by discovering and targeting long tail keywords using HitTail

I have to point out that what HitTail does for you is to very carefully analyze and suggest keywords that you can use for your search engine optimization. It does not optimize your content for you. HitTail’s algorithm is designed to discover the best keywords for you to focus on. The rest is up to you. I strongly suggest that you give this tool a try.

Hit Tail, advanced writing idea « STORMHITS

:: Link Building Blog ::: How to Increase Your Search Traffic through Writing

Programs like HitTail are great at helping you determine which non-competitive terms that you can go after that drive tons of traffic. For all the blogs that I optimized such as TechCrunch and Mashable the majority of their search traffic comes from long tail keywords. You would be surprised at how long tail keywords can add up to 10,000 or even 20,000 daily search engine hits for these blogs.

Why Bloggers Need a Good Web Analytics Package

HitTail: This is a long tail web analytics tool that helps you discover unique keywords that you can target with your blog posts. Long tail keywords are infrequently searched, but collectively, they make up the majority of your blog's pageviews. That's the theory at least. You can find out how users frame their search queries and get recommended keywords to write about.

New free software to optimize natural search... this one is real and recommended by Seth Godin, Michael Port and other marketing

What HitTail allows you to do, is take advantage of the Long Tail of search results. It's probably not the big three keywords that are going to get you noticed. You probably can't even get on the board for the big three keywords in your market. But that's ok. If you can optimize, with good content, around the least utilized but most promising keywords in the Long Tail of your natural (organic) search results, you might even be able to get more traffic then those who sit on top of Google for the competitive keywords in your market.

Ranking For An Arbitrary Organic Search Query « MicroISV on a Shoestring

Anyhow, after a bit of searching, it turns out that the guy who already solved this problem made a webapp called HitTail. It has the broad thrust of the features I wanted: tracks what queries get people to find you (unnecessary, I can do that already), and then selectively picks queries out which (the site claims) hit a cluster of snowflakes and are not currently very competitive.
