As writers and bloggers, we are interested in knowing where are followers hail from. You will see on my blog there is a flag counter on the side bar. This enables me to see where my blog is read. There are also several other options on the site, that allow me to know the number of visits per country, and how many visitors from each.

For example, in 2022 – 206 different countries have visited my site

Why should we track our blog readers?

1. Understand Your Visitors Better

Tracking blog traffic sources can help you figure out where your visitors are coming from and which platforms, they use so you can learn more about them and send them targeted messages.

2. You Can Measure Your Market Campaigns

If the goal of a campaign is to generate traffic, you can track the different traffic sources to see how effective it is.

3. For Best Results, Concentrate on Channels

You can improve your results by concentrating more on the channel that brought the most traffic to your blog.

4. Topics for New Content

People from various channels may be interested in different topics, so reviewing your traffic sources for each blog will help you come up with new content ideas.

5. Identify Traffic Gap

You can look for channels that aren’t performing well and can optimize them.
