This is a great plugin but if you are just starting with your blogs and the numbers are not favorable, this could hurt.
True, it’s not for everyone. ;)
Same goes to twitter, fb and rss subscriber counter. Someone gave me a tip to not showing off your number of follower if your blog is new.
what is a good number to show? I am getting ~50 hits per day
It really depends on what kind of site it is. If it’s a personal blog or something just for a hobby, then lower numbers don’t matter so much. If it’s a business or social network then maybe you’d want to wait until the traffic is really pumping.
Nice, especially that “Online Now” feature. I wonder how true the stats will be? Like are they updated real-time?
Displaying these stats on the dashboard will be a great feature and boost this plugin.
the plugin does not exists any more. Is there any other similar plugin you recommend ?
