Forum:Is there any way to see how many people are reading your wiki

I was wondering if there was any sort of page view tracking that I could use to monitor how many people are reading the wiki I created.


 * Wikia has a tracker for this, but normal users don't have access to it. You could do something like Runescape Wiki's Sitemeter, but you'll have to set it up offsite and all that.


 * Quantcast can be useful for basic data, although I'm not certain if the numbers are 100% accurate. — Sovq 16:28, July 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is Special:Mostvisitedpages/latest a good indicator of roughly how much traffic is hitting your main page at the moment? Does anyone know what those numbers correspond to, ie over what period have those many people visited the pages?--Acer4666 13:33, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * @Ben10, Acer is likely asking so that he can propose it to Cultcinema. @Cultcinema, Quantecast can be a good option, and Special:WikiStats can also help if you want to monitor the number of editors. -- BobNewbie  ∞(Talk)∞  14:46, July 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * @BenHe is making a helpful suggestion also please watch your grammar --Tama 63  14:49, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

You can also use, Special:Statistics to keep track of edits, editors, list of admins, rollbacks, etc, and some more things if you check it out. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  14:51, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

And Tama, Ben and he should have a space, and sorry. --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  14:51, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Quantcast can show you how many users, visits and page views you have over the course of a day, week or month. That's set up automatically and you can view it by going to quantcast.com/. Special:WikiStats can show you how many editors you have per month among other things, although oftentimes that will not load. Sitemeter is quite helpful for seeing statistics in greater detail, and it's not that difficult to install; it shows time on site, which pages people are visiting, and where they are geographically. Unfortunately it's very limited in terms of how many visits it will log: if you have anything close to a large wiki it won't be that useful in the long run. I have heard that Google Analytics can be installed and will give you lots of information about your visitors, but I think you'll have to contact staff about how to do that.
