When I setup this blog, I wanted to know who (if anyone :)) was reading it. Here are my three favorite tracking services:

  1. FeedBurner. I redirected the RSS feed of this site through Feedburner. Feedburner gives you all kinds of stats about how many RSS subscribers you have and what RSS readers they use. I used the Wordpress FeedBurner plugin which made setup simple.
  2. Google Analytics tracks who visits the site and a variety of other statistics about surfers. The Google Analyticator Wordpress Plugin made installation a snap.
  3. Technorati tracks incoming links from other blogs (a.k.a. link love). For those who like stats, Technorati will also show your blog’s ranking. It only takes about 5 minutes to setup an account and claim your blog.

Got any other suggestions, what else should I be doing?
