I’ve been blogging for years, and I have believe that I have been evolving, but right now, I’m stuck at exactly where I started. It’s all because of Clicky.
When I started out blogging. I didn’t focus on writing. I didn’t focus on hustling, and I didn’t spend hours a day making my blog into something worth reading. I wanted all the shortcuts, and I wanted to learn blackhat techniques. I wanted to learn methods to get easy traffic. It was all about the numbers. If I just got enough traffic, I would certainly earn money, and that was the whole point of blogging (at least that’s what it felt like at the moment).
Clicky is Google Analytics on Steroids
I have been using Google Analytics for many years. I started using it the day after I launched my blog. I don’t use statistics much, but I have been looking at my stats at least once a month. There are so many advanced features with Google Analytics, and I have written several posts about some of the most interesting features, just take a look at the following posts:
- How to create campaigns in Google Analytics
- How to find Google Analytics Bounce Rate
- How to setup and install Google Analytics in 5 minutes
The thing is, I started out looking at Google Analytics and analyzing my traffic every single day. All I ever cared about was improving the traffic to my blog and the bounce rate. I could sit for hours, just looking at the numbers (I have a masters degree in political science, and I’m suppose to love statistics). I got bored with the stats. I wanted to create. I wanted freedom. And I discovered that all I really wanted was to connect with people, learn from them, and teach them what I know. And in the end, it’s all about having fun. To me, statistics isn’t that much fun. Well, until I discovered Clicky.
Clicky Makes Me Sit and Just Stare at the Screen
I’m not kidding. I installed Clicky about a week ago. And the first thing that happened after I started going through the features is that my eyes got stuck watching one word in the menu. The word was SPY. I love the word spy. It’s so… adventurous.
Clicky made me click. I love that name too. Clicky. I had no idea what the SPY feature was, but that was the first feature I discovered. And it might be the only feature I need. I was stunned looking at the screen and the information I received from my visitors. I was James Bond in my pyjamas, while my wife and kids were sleeping.
Looking at the screen at Clicky, I got information in real time. I was watching who was visiting my blog. I got information about what posts they where looking at, how many actions they performed (one action is just visiting the post), and how they entered my blog. I watched how they had searched Google to end up at my blog posts. And I even got information from the spy feature at Clicky on how the keywords or phrases ranked at Google. This was amazing. More people kept visiting my site, and every few minutes another person arrived, and I got even more information. Clicky made me stick. I felt like I was glued to my chair. It was like I was a teenager playing Civilization all over again (I used to play all day long, and all night, without eating or sleeping. I just forgot about time completely).
Why the SPY feature at Clicky is Awesome and Addictive
Clicky turned me into a spy. I’m spying. I feel like James Bond. It’s a good feeling. What I discovered with Clicky is that I can do tests in real time. The SPY feature makes me see what people are looking at when they are at my blog. I can see what they’re doing and what they’re not doing. I can add a banner, and I can see if the next visitor to this particular blog post will click on the banner or not. I can add some links, I can add more text, or less text or a new headline or whatever in order to test if people will click (take action). I don’t have to wait another day to get some advanced statistics from Google (I know that Google Analytics is awesome, and that they’ll have real time stats as well, but to me, Clicky makes it a lot easier and a lot more fun).
I have completely forgotten about why I was so interested in watching statistics. Statistics can be a lot of fun, and addictive, and that’s what I rediscovered after I started using Clicky. The problem though, there’s always a problem, is that I’m so fascinated by staring at the spy feature at Clicky, I don’t actually know that I’ll use the statistics for anything, other than watch my visitors enter and exit my posts.

Hi Jens, Well, if you tell everyone you’re a spy… I’m just saying, I don’t think James Bond ever revealed his profession.
I signed up for Clicky but didn’t really use it. I just went back to my account and re-activated it. Thanks for the suggestion! But when I clicked on Spy, it said that feature was only available for Premium accounts.
It’s difficult to imagine you being anything other than genuine and humble, Jens. Are you sure that was you using Black Hat techniques?

I have a premium account. I tested it for about a week, and you get all the premium features for the first 30 days (I believe that it’s 30 days). But, I decided to upgrade within a week, because I received an offer I couldn’t resist.
I don’t think that I ever used a black hat technique, but I was thinking a lot about it and studying many different techniques. I was looking for the short cuts. That’s mostly because I read about people earning a lot of money doing almost nothing online. I wanted what they had… but I soon discovered that wasn’t part of who I am. I want to have fun, and connect with people.

Have you kept the Google Analytics code on your blog? Call me crazy, but I think, in small proportions, it influences the way Google ranks websites. When it comes to SEO and Google positioning, depending on certain keywords, every little detail matters. Clicky seems great, but I would leave the Google Analytics code on my websites too, just in case it really matters, especially they work so great now. Yeah, Google’s team says keywords, meta-titles and so on don’t influence rankings, but how come they do it by the book with their websites? Well, I can talk about this subject for days

Hey Jens, after I complained about your tab bar blocking my ability to read and respond, Lori @LifeforInstance told me how to ‘fix’ it. If you press the control key and move the scroll wheel on your mouse, you can click the font down a notch or two to move the text away from the tab bar. I was having the same issue at her place. I hope it didn’t cause you too much angst trying to correct it.
I’m trying to make my existence sustainable. I’m afraid the more I cling to the things people say should matter in social, ie SEO, backlinks, visits, keywords, etc the more I get away from just writing and engaging. I know all that stuff is important to most people in here and I’m certainly not downplaying the significance. I just need to be careful not to get caught up in it right now because that is what almost chewed me up the first time.
However, now I am intrigued and I think we all have a little spy in us, huh? Thanks for sharing, hope all is well.

Hopefully it will go away sometime soon. I want to focus on writing, and connecting with people, and not turning everything into statistics.
Have a wonderful weekend Bill.

Well hello Jens
Thanks for recommending Clicky, having switched over to the new GA layout I must admit I have begun to trust their figures less and less, especially when it comes to tracking stats for optin pages hosted on the same domain but supposedly using separate tracking filtered to isolate root activity.
Will be interesting tracking the differences over the next week and of course this means I will have to write something to attract visitors…never mind Santas list, my to do list is long enough!

For now I’m just going to stick with Google Analytics. I feel they give me enough relevant information.

Hey buddy, fun stuff, I’ve thought about writing a post on Clicky before as well. I use the pro version on TSL and enjoy the feature. It doesn’t always line up with GA, but what the heck does these days.
Here is why I think it has value:
1. See how much time your fans and readers are truly spending on the site.
2. See who is coming and going quickly
3. See who acts like they’re really interested by are not.
4. Get a much better feel for how titles and calls to action affect how quickly read your blog posts and then do something with it.
5. See what people are clicking in terms of visiting other sites/links you’ve posted (can be very effective for an affiliate link or something like that)..
Just a few thoughts. This was fun bud.

I have only been using Clicky for a little more than a week, but so far I’m very happy with how easy it is to get some very advanced statistics. I’m thinkin of developing a way to get the stats that matters to me, and especially how to find out how to get my visitors to engage and spend more time on my blog.
It’s fairly easy to see which posts that makes people leave fast, and which posts that makes people stay longer. And that my friend is one thing I have missed to do something about with GA. It’s probably not GA’s fault, but my own. On the other hand, I discovered this at Clicky without even looking for it.

The feature I like a lot is the Big Screen as I can see in big green numbers what is happening and I also just LOVE the Spy feature as you get a lot of data of what the visitors are currently doing in the site on real time.
There are still some functions I still haven’t used yet but looking forward to dabble more with it.

I’ve never heard of Clicky, but it sounds interesting the way you explained it. I never knew how much you can be a potential spy with it. Well a cyber spy for that matter LOL.
I actually use Google Analytics and I have never heard of Clicky before but I will definitely check it out after reading what you wrote about it. I completely understand what you meant when you said that it was all about the numbers at first, I’ve been there. But to actually get to see the information that you saw? I swear, I know I’d be staring at my screen for hours as well. Maybe the feature is about you analyzing which part of your blog gets the most attention and which doesn’t and from there you can think of ways to have more attention in what banner or ad. Will go check on clicky … now. Thanks.
Hi Jens, you have a great article here. I am just wondering if I can play a spy role online. Im not a stalker, but sometimes, it is just fun to look for results.
This Spy feature has really got me intrigued. It is something rather unusual for you to see real time who’s visiting your blog. I might just try Clicky!
Hi, i actually felt your frustration, most of us try to find an easy money but doesnt realize that it also easily gone by. I really felt your deepest sentiment when you said that t was all about the numbers. If I just got enough traffic, I would certainly earn money, and that was the whole point of blogging. I think that time you missed the point of blogging online, for me it is sharing your opinion to the world, as if you are trying to help the world to answer their question in someway. Blogging for me is the modern world for writer where they can easily publish their thoughts and feeling, share experiences and shout out their sentiments. You are right its not all about creating traffic or earning money but it is the satisfaction that it gives you as a writer.
I love Google Analytics, it is a free web analytics tool that integrates seamlessly with other Google products.people like me who uses Google Blogger blogging application, it’s incredibly easy to track your blog traffic statistics. Once you register for a free Google account, you can create your tracking code by following very easy onscreen instructions. You’re not limited to a single blog when you use it, you can also track multiple blogs through a single Google account and keep those statistics separate.
