WSO with A Twist! Learn more here

Hello there!

My name is Rahmat and I'm not a marketing guru. But anyway, I've got something that I think will be useful for you. I want to share it here, right now right away.

That "something" is actually a twist. The twist I am going to say is very useful, even if you are an expert on WSO. (keep reading)

Have you heard of website statistics software like Google Analytics, Statcounter, Awstat, Webalizer, etc ?

If you have a website or blog, most probably you have heard and using it. That's a good start. If you don't, I will explain to you here:

What these website statistics software do?

What they do is to collect data from your website's or blog's visitors.
Depending on which statistics software you used, some will give you more detailed/simpler data.
Example of the collected data are:

• How many visitors per hour/day/month/year
• How long is the visit length
• What is the most popular page
• Entry page and Exit page
• Where your visitor come from
• What keyword the visitor search
• What search engine gives you more visitors
• Whether the visitor is a new or repeat visitor
• What browser your visitor use

These data are useful to understand your visitors profile.

Here is the twist... (keep reading...)

Do you know that you can use this technique for your own WSO at Warrior Forum?

Yes, you can track your WSO statistics similar with how you track your website's statistics. Nowadays if you create a WSO thread, you are allowed to put interactive media such as images, and youtube video. You can use this to your advantage, to put the statistics software code on it.

But Rahmat, isn't usually the code in javascript, while WSO does not allow javascript code?

Yes, that is true. Most statistics software generates code in javascript language. Unlike in your website, this kind of language is not supported in WSO thread.

So here is another twist:
Use statistics software that able to produce code in image format.

My personal pick is Statcounter. It has free version which is great for most of you.
The idea is to put the Statcounter code in your WSO thread. EDIT: Since mod is strongly against invisible image code, I would use visible image code.

Using image code provides basic stats (nothing fancy). Note that the image code has some limitations; it cannot record some elements such as keywords, referring page, etc. Despite the limitations, I feel that this technique still worth it. It enables more detailed stats of your WSO visitors.

That's great Rahmat, but why would you use this technique?

It is similar with why you would track your website's visitors. That is to understand your visitors profile. You can know whether certain WSO campaign is successful or not.

Without stats code, you can only see the rough number of view. It is hard to gain an insight out of it.



With stats code, you can have more data available:







If there are many interest in this topic, in the next part, I am going to show you step-by-step how to install Statcounter code in your WSO thread. Meanwhile, you can comment here if you have any questions.

EDIT: This is how the visible statcounter image looks like:
