This is a tough thing to figure out.  You can track visits through bloglines, google and ar.  It is difficult to really get a grip on how many actually read your site.  Many will read via email and others will use outlook.  Just keep writing great stories and they will come.

I have no answers, but I do have the same question!  I'll be watching for a good response...

I am sorry, like christina, I have always wanted to know this.. so I'll be watching for a response as well

is there a way to add my activerian blog to my current analytics software?  I use geocities for my website.

Good question, alhtough you can see how many people have read it and left comments, plus how many subscribers you have.  I am guessing that is only the Active Rain members, but I could very well be wrong! 

Joanne:

Are we talking here about your non AR web presence?  I'm sure you know you can track yourself here by checking your statistics.  It amazes me what posts I do that get more readers than others, and what posts get comments.  Quite a learning experience. 

Hi Joan,

yes, I am talking about my "other" blog that is a part of my website. I have three RSS feeds on it; for blog posts, for comments and for market reports.   It is easy to see statistics here! 

On Elaine Reeses WordPress.com blog she has something that will tell her an approximation of the number of subscribers to her RSS feed.  It is a beta.

She and I were looking at our WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org blog dashboards side by side in the office last night.  Kinda neat.

Thanks Maureen, I will check it out.

Hello, I'm trying https://www.feedburner.com/.

Maybe you can try too... But you will need to put a new rss address in your blog, that's the problem.  

Bye,

Mauricio, are you talking about this blog on active rain?  Or my other Summit County real estate blog?

Thanks!
