"Real-Time Whats Hot" on your blog

You have just posted a new blog article, and it gets dugg ( or stumbled, buzz'd, sphere'd, twittered or even picked up by a major newswire ), resulting in high traffic. Wouldn't you like to find out about this right away, so you could make sure you take the right action(s) to maximize on the opportunity that has presented itself.

Another scenerio is where you are trying something new with a blog post, and would like to see how well it is able to pull readers, in real time.

Wowzio's "Real-Time Whats Hot" provides a real-time view of your blog posts that readers are engaging with, right NOW. To see what it looks like for the 'Filmonic' blog, click on http://www.wowzio.com/blogs/realtimewhatshot?ids=53144 . You'll notice that we have aggregated the referring domains for each blog posts on the "Whats Hot" page. One can also drill down into a detail view for a blog post by clicking on the corr. "more" link, eg. http://www.wowzio.com/blogs/realtimetrafficpost?ids=53144&articleid=19239527

For your blog, you can find the link to your 'Real-Time Whats Hot' page on your 'seewidgets' page. In our example 'Filmonic' blog, that page is at http://www.wowzio.com/widgets/seewidgets?ids=53144

All that is needed to make this feature work is a Wowzio widget ( or badge ) for your blog, to be installed on your blog.

This feature has been built using our 'Geo-Popularity Platform'. For more info. and details, please click here.

An often received requests from bloggers ( especially those who installed the Live Activity widget ), was asking us if they could see a longer list of visitors on their blog. So we had been thinking about this request for some time, and have come up with "Real-Time Whats Hot" that we feel is a bit more useful.

As usual, we would love to hear your feedback, via our feedback form or via email to feedback[at]wowzio[dot]com .
