PLUGIN DEPRECIATED<\/h4>\n\n

Now, we are finally convinced that GOOGLE ANALYTICS stats and tracking systems are uncomparably superior (which also comes as other plugins, i.e. we like Google Analytics [by MonsterInsights]<\/a>) over useless \"POST-VIEWS\" plugins, because these drawbacks:\n- There are tons of bots, crawlers, search or aggregation engines, that view your websites and pages daily, and \"view your posts\". That ends up in fake\/boosted \"Post views\" dramatically.\nBeside bots, many people just ...:<\/strong>\n- people open the pages in the background and close them without reading at all\n- open the pages, but close while site is still loading\n- open the pages, but close quickly, under 1-2 seconds, without reading your pages..\n- and many other reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

All these actions still increases the Post-views<\/strong> counter. So, to say decisively, such numbers are not of any real help, instead they just mislead site-owners and their decisions.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

... What is solution?<\/h3>\n\n

We praise Google Analytics (or alike) tracking systems. This is what they are made for !<\/strong> This is the field, where they know what to do. Just state-of-the-art. They give you statistics not only of page-views, average duration (seconds), Realtime , but other tons of statisctis, which gives you realistic information about your posts and website<\/strong>, to make correct decisions.<\/p>\n\n

YOU WILL NOT REGRET.<\/p>\n\n

Just spend 2 minute to sign up for Google Analytics, get the code and use \"Google Analytics\" plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n
