I don’t even know what it is called, but someone out there must know a way I can keep track of how many people come to the blog, what they look at, what they click on, what search terms they use to find it, etc? WordPress has something to do that, but as far as I can tell only keeps track of the past 30 days (for a lot of the information). I don’t want to pay for something to do this, but is there some sort of free program out there that will do this? Or something REALLY cheap? Thank you for any wisdom.
I use sitemeter, Elizabeth. You can get to it from my blog. It’s down on the left hand side of the page.
I use Google Analytics and it seems to work well.
Stat Counter is the one I use – free, and lots of details. They have a pay version for logs of more than 100, but the free one works for me.
I use Rite Counter. It’s free with a lot of info. It looks like you now have a lot to chose from! :-)
