I’ve been using Woopra for a few days now and you can colour me seriously impressed. It is amazing to watch your web stats in real time, and quite addictive. One thing it is great for though is finding out sites that use your plugin.
A visitor arrived at my site while I was watching it and I noticed that he had been to the site before. In fact, both times he had arrived from his wp-admin/plugins page straight onto one of my plugin pages.
I felt sure he must have a problem and was going to leave a comment so when I noticed yet another hit on the same page I jumped into my own dashboard and sure enough a comment was waiting for me about my plugin.
It occured to me that I could use the referrer tracking for that page to see who was arriving at my blog as a result of clicking on the site link on the plugins page. In Google analytics you can get the referrer stats through some advanced manipulation, but Woopra just makes it so easy.
Now, this isn’t going to list every user. It might only list users who have a problem, or who aren’t sure how to work it, but if you think it is intrusive to add a tracker to your plugin, and I do, then this is a nice intermediate step.
