When MyBlogLog first launched, bloggers started to add the widget into their blogs. But as usual, I was one of the last “old” bloggers that opened an account with them and added the widget. I always have been precaution and not following what people say, always loved to analyse and see how certain product could be benefit to me or in this case to my blog. Before I got in MyBlogLog, I was searching for tips or extra information on how mybloglog can help me blogging or make my blog better. So I decided to try them and see if I can get the most of it.

Some of you may know that the statistics of MyBlogLog are divided by: Where Readers Came From, What Readers Viewed and What Readers Clicked. For me this is really a great information to collect so I can know how to make changes or adding some new things to my blog.

How to improve your blog using MyBlogLog

Google is not perfect, and sometimes I have ranked in a keyword that is really not worth for the user to click. So it can effect your site when they clicked and don’t get what they are searching for. For example:

In MyBlogLog it shows that with the keyword: afraid of success give me 3 visitors today.

afraid of success

Then I search for that keyword to see which article is listed there from Googlelady:

afraid of success

This is the article that shows at the top in Google. But then think about it, is this what users really wants? In my opinion, no. They want something else, about a self-improvement article or something like this. So what I can do? I write another article about it and make something that users really want to read about (in this case it will not work, because googlelady is not about self-improvement niche). So I changed the title for: Adsense: Afraid of success?.

How my blog can improve with this tool?

You will get what the user (which is searching for that keyword) wants to read about. The purpose of a blog is to get as much readers as you can right? If the user see that this article is what was searching for for sure he/she will be a constant reader!

Anyways, I am not writting to search engines I am writting to my readers, for sure I have the possibility to lose the position with the keyword “afraid to success” but at least I will be ranked for something related to the article.

How can I find more ideas or topics to write about in my blog?

I will give you an example here:

agloco

Someone is trying to find something about “How to uninstall agloco” and I don’t have an article talking about it right? So this give me an idea to write an article about “How to uinstall agloco” and have some new fresh content and already knows that there are people searching about it!

How to know who are linking to you and the results

I know that many hosting companies offers a web analysis tool in your panel. But I really don’t like them because they don’t really give you in which part of the page they linked so I prefer MyBlogLog statistics tool. This can be a powerfull tool if you want to know if commenting in a blog really works for you and if you are really getting traffic from them. An example of my friend ShaunLow that sold her his blog recently:

shaunlow

How to find if ads in your blog are really suitable to your readers

checking at “What Readers Clicked” you can see how your readers are interacting with the ads and links of your blog. I use this for the purpose on how my commentators are benefiting for extra traffic commenting here. Also it give me an idea if what have been advertised here is good for my readers or not. But also to find if any contextual advertising (Bidvertiser, adengage, etc..) are really counting my clicks.

I am sure that there are more things you can do with those type of data that mybloglog statistics gives you for example finding new keywords to advertise in adwords, to find new keywords that you are ranked well in search engines

    Great post! I just started my first blog and upgraded MyBlogLog immediately after seeing how useful the stats are. fyi, I found you by googling “mybloglog statistics”, and yours is the most useful post I’ve found so far. I’m in the process of figuring all this stuff out, and it’s all going in the mini-processor that I sometimes call my brain. I’m so new that I don’t have any visitors from Google searches yet (I forgot to add the search thingie to my template til 3 days ago), but I love your tips about using the results to more tightly focus the content. Thanks so much! oh, this is me: I just Stumbled you. ~jan
