It’s official. It’s final. If you have bookmarked http://performancing.com/metrics - don’t try it. It will take you to a short announcement: Metrics Closed. Too bad. I liked their service, it was useful and easy to handle. I know, it’s not the end of the world, the script is given to the Open Source community, so who knows what will happen down the road… it’s just sad when you go a familiar place on the net just to realize there is no more.
There used to be a period I didn’t care to much about my visitors (it was a mistake, I know), but after discovering the Performancing Metrics I started to follow more closely the “performance” of my blogs. One of the surprises - this blog has more visitors than my other pet projects :)
So, I might even start to post here regularly. To add some more tutorials and discuss more WP related issues.
Allegedly, the Performancing Partners, which is supposed to bring advertisers into the left column, will continue to operate. Browsing around in the blogosphere it seems to me there are way more publishers offering their pages than are advertisers willing to pay. We’ll see. For me till now the best choice was the Text-Ad-Links - click on the logo in the sidebar and check it out. I really started to make money with them.
A few days ago I signed up with MyBlogLog.com - that’s the service showing the visitors’ pictures in the sidebar. They also have a quite good statistics service but not free. I still have a few days to ‘convert’ my free account into a full paid one. Maybe some people could share their experience with the paid stats. The rest of the “linking-together-bloggers-of-the-world” thing is kinda fun :)
Yep, I miss Performancing Metrics. Partners appears to have died too.
Google Analytics has some great stats. Sometimes overwhelming… Right now, I’m really grooving on the (free) new sitestats from feedburner.com. Really good stuff there. That, combined with I get from the free flavor of mybloglog is keeping my inner metrics-geek content.
I missed the Partners’ death. Time to take off the code…
