Your Article Reports
The EzineArticles Developer team asked me to ask you for some feedback so that we can figure out which direction to take your article reports in terms of improvement.
Right now, we’re displaying Article ID, Article Title, View Counts, EzinePublisher Counts, URL’s Clicked, Emailed (how many times your article is forwarded to a friend), # of Comments, Votes, Rating and the Published Date. Seems like an incredible amount of data is being displayed that may be too much for most members.
If you’d like to have a hand in the direction we improve your article reports, we’d like you to reply to blog entry with 3 things:
- What is your monitor size and screen resolution?
(Example: 17″ monitor / 1024×1280 resolution) - If you could only change one thing about your EzineArticles “My Article Reports” to make them more immediately valuable to you, what would you want changed specifically?
- The top 3 statistics ranked in order of importance to you for each of your articles is? (ie: View Count, URL Clicks, etc…)
Optionally, you could tell us if the charts and graphics we’re auto-generating on the fly are of any value? Example: The top most viewed articles or the pie chart that identifies your total article count by which author produced the content? (This only shows up if you have more than one alt-author setup with live published articles)
1. 17 inches… 1024×768
2. Ah… I can’t give you 1 thing. I’d say get rid of article id#, emailed, ratings, comments, and votes… in that order.
3. Views, url clicks, ezinepublisher, pub date. Of course article title as well. :)
Everything else I hope disappears and “1 big new thing” replaces their space. What that new thing is, I don’t know. But you and your team are coming up with a lot of new things.
