I have this little deal called WP To Twitter installed on several of my WordPress blogs, including this one. This allows me to send an update of new posts to Twitter when I post a new post on my blog.
I had not thought much about this little plugin and what it was doing, content to just let it take care of one of far too many things I have to do in a day. Then today I got a error note that told me it had to post my last post with the full URL rather than the shortened Cli.gs redirection URL. I went to investigate and make sure that the API key was working right on the Clig site. This lead me to investigating a bit more of what the site is and I discovered that it has a map feature that shows me where visitors are from.
This picture shows an example of a map from Cligs that shows how many visitors I got for a recent post to one of my quilting sites. Selected is Norway, showing “2 visitors from Norway”. Each of the countries you have got a visitor from shows up in red on the map, so my post had visitors from the United States, Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom and Norway as of the time I am posting this.
I know I am probably very slow on discovering this feature, but I still think it is a kewl aspect if Cli.gs that I had not noticed before and is worth sharing with others interested in discovering what their traffic patterns are.
