Overview

============================
  • vBSEO LiveStats for vBulletin allows admins to instantly check their forum's search performance, without ever leaving the page!
  • See benefits and examples below.
  • Just click the hovering tab (viewable only to admins) to launch the report.
  • An ultra easy to read micro report shows you how many hits you are getting, from which keywords, and from which sites.
  • Find out how the entire forum is performing, or get stats only for the currently viewed page.
  • Very powerful, but conveniently simple and user friendly.
Search engine hits are the rocket fuel of a successful forum. Stats tools like Google Analytics provide the data you need to measure your performance. However, it requires you to login into GA, and drill down into its many report formats. You know the result: Many admins simply forget about their stats most of the time, and really don't know which pages are actually performing (or not).

vBSEO LiveStats gives you all the data you need in a split second, without leaving the forum. You get all the valuable info to know immediately how your pages are performing, without spending any time figuring out the complexities of Google Analytics.


Benefits and Example Usage

============================
  • Success - See examples below.
  • Save time - Loads instantly, on-demand, while browsing your forum. You don't need to leave the page.
  • Easy to use - Opens with easy to read micro-report ready for you. No drill down required.
  • Instant info - Find out if a "page" is performing without ever launching Google Analytics (or trying to dig through it's many reports to get what you want)
  • Secure - Only visible by admins with granted permissions.

Example 1 - Why is that thread so hot all of a sudden?


You notice more guest users are online. Several of them are reading and posting to a particular thread. You go to that thread and click "stats". LiveStats loads on demand and gives you the micro report. It turns out for the past 24 hours you are getting hits for one of your top keywords!


Example 2 - Was that email effective?


You send out an email to your forum members, telling them about an important new announcement. How many of them actually were interested? You browse to the announcement thread, load LiveStats on-demand. It turns out 25% of your members visited your announcement within 24 hours of sending the email.


Example 3 - Is my participation at another forum getting me any hits?


You have been actively posting at a related forum to build links and get some click through traffic. Are you getting any clicks by the visitors there? You browse to the page you were linking to, load LiveStats on-demand, and see if the site you are targeting is sending you traffic this week. It looks like you are getting some hits.


Example 4 - I installed vBSEO last month. How much new traffic am I getting?


You vBSEO-enabled your forum to get more search traffic, but you want to find out how well it's working. This will be your 30 day progress report. You load LiveStats on-demand on *any* page of your forum and click the link for your Global site report. You set the date for 30 days before you installed. Looks like you got 100,000 hits that month. Now you set it for the 30 days you had vBSEO installed. It turns out you had 105,000 hits the first month with vBSEO, so your traffic is up by 5%.


Example 5 - Are your new articles getting any hits?


You are building your content by writing new articles related to your forum topic. This week you created 10 new articles. As you visit each article, you load LiveStats on-demand and instantly see the total hits, keywords, and other sites that are sending you traffic since the article was created. Looks like 3 of your articles are doing better than the others. Common factor: A keyword rich title. It turns out LiveStats has helped you zero in on the best way to optimize your content to get more traffic.


How do you use LiveStats? Please tell us...



What does it do?
============================
  • Securely connects to your Google Analytics account.
  • Collects page data and generates micro-reports, on-demand.
  • Admin-only "stats" Tab hovers for instant access on any page.
  • When "stats" tab is clicked, LiveStats launches on the page.
  • Micro search engine performance reports are displayed for the current page, or the full site.
  • Admins can select date range, to check out performance for a desired time period.

I'm a nobody, but for the guys getting 0 everything, when I installed it I had the same problem. After setting up an analytic account and installing the code (I used the bottom of the header template), I found that I had to go back to my Google analytic account and have it re-verify (check status of) the existence of the code. Then it worked, but if I remember correctly it took a day to gather enough info to display. I can't remember exactly...

Without checking the status to see it was actually in place to activate, it wasn't gathering the information. Also make sure your analytic account ID is correctly installed in Admin CP.

This has been asked now 3 times. Any comments on performance issues on big boards? Or is the hack only available for viewing by admins?

Okay... Installed... It works as far as a few things... It shows up on my board... I click on it once, and it pops up, and loads.. but absolutely no stats ever show.

When I first signed up to google, it gave me a code to add to the site... does it have anything to do with that? Because google says it cant find my tracking code... idk... please help

Thank you

No that code is for GA tracking.

Sign in GA > GA Analytics Overview page where your site is listed. Click on the Edit link for your site and under your site's name you'll find your site ID.

What I miss in this add-on is Bounce Rate features.

Please consider to add features to show moderators & admins which threads have high bounce rates. This allows them to improve these threads. Optimally the admin would be able to set a threshold level, above which bounce rate, threads are marked or highlighted to staff.

Hi,

The data is not encrypted therefore if someone was able to gain access they could view the password of the email stored.
