Wow! I’ve got some of the biggest news for the Woopra WordPress Plugin users in a long time! Today we’ve released a brand new version, Woopra WordPress Plugin 1.4.7, which incorporates the ability to keep track of Authors and Categories for reporting purposes!

You can download Woopra WordPress Plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory. If you have been using an old version, we recommend that you use FTP to delete the old directory and upload the new version manually. You can try the auto-upgrade, but we recommend a clean install for this version, especially if you have been getting errors in the past. If you had errors and chose to install Woopra manually, please remove the Woopra JavaScript from your WordPress Theme first, then install the Woopra WordPress Plugin to avoid double stats.

John Pozadzides, CEO of Woopra, published “Analysis: What are the Web’s Top Sources of Referral Traffic?” on ReadWriteWeb showcasing how Woopra was used for recent research for RWW on the real impact of social media on your web traffic.

If there’s one thing we know about Web authors it’s that they are constantly seeking new sources of traffic for their content. It doesn’t matter if you’re a blogger, a marketing manager or a small business owner, there is simply no reason to invest time with content creation and Web design if no one is coming to read it. For this reason, it’s important to figure out where to actually invest time for the greatest ROI.

…the Woopra team provided me with the raw information that I used to create the charts below. This report is based on hundreds of millions of data points collected during the month of June 2010.

Virtually every category of Website is represented in the dataset – education, news, government, SMB, Fortune 500, blogs, adult – and while it clearly doesn’t reflect all of the sites on the Internet, my guess is that it is a statistically significant and representative sampling.

The results analyze the top referrers of traffic, social network referrers, social bookmark referrers, search referrers, and media referrers with some very surprising results.

Hey folks, if you weren’t aware yet, the .CO domain names have now been released and people are registering them like crazy!

I would highly recommend that you go and at the very least pick up your primary domain name with a .CO address before someone else grabs it to take advantage of your visitors who forget the M on your .COM address (can you say “domain squatting”?).

Everyone I know uses GoDaddy (so do we) so head on over to GoDaddy now and get your domain. There are also still a LOT of other great names up for grabs so if you’ve been wanting one for a while and all the .COMs were taken you might invest a little time and money in a few choice names for later use.

Here are some Coupon Codes you can use when its time to checkout:

• IAPt3 = 10% off
• IAPtfif1 = 15% off $75
• IAPtft1 = $5 off $30
• IAPtdom1 = $7.49 .com
• IAPth1 = 20% off hosting

Good luck with your domain hunt! Don’t forget we also have discount codes for other GoDaddy domains and more. And tweet me to @johnpoz if you get anything awesome! I’d love to hear about it!

We rolled out another update of the Woopra Web Application today. With more than 200 bugs stomped, we’ve added some great new features, with more on the way.

We’ve introduced a new slick user interface similar to Apple’s look and feel, improving the visual interaction with the Woopra Web Application.

The Live Map information is important and we know you want more helpful information, so we’ve added more visitor details when you click/hover over a visitor pin.

We’ve also worked hard improving the web version for Internet Explorer users. While we understand that you want this to work across all current versions of Internet Explorer, the functionality is very advanced, so we’re got it working flawlessly with Internet Explorer 8+.

However, your best experience using the Woopra web version comes from using Chrome or Firefox. We recommend our users run this application on Google Chrome which has shown in our benchmarks to be 4 times faster than Firefox and more than 10 times faster than Internet Explorer running Woopra.
