pMetrics WordPress Plugin

Sep 5 at 7:07am by Ahmed Bilal

The pMetrics WordPress Plugin allows you to check blog stats directly from your WordPress Dashboard - if you haven’t already, sign up for pMetrics and then download the plugin and set it up on your blog.

Update: WordPress 2.7 users, please download the upgraded version of the plugin here.

The cool thing about the new pMetrics WP Plugin is the fact that it is also a demo for new class of WordPress Plugins using basic building blocks that can easily be used to build blogger-friendly plugins.

The general idea has been that we should move beyond the old-art of software updates (deleting, downloading, unzipping, re-uploading). and move to one-click installs and automated plugin management. The old-art is especially problematic when running dozens or hundreds of blogs.

In a nutshell here’s what the pMetrics plugin offers:

1. Auto-updates (this option can be toggled on and off)
2. One-click installs for added functionality
3. One-click removals (deletes files off the server)
4. Blog stats in your WordPress dashboard
5. Latest searches display
6. pMetrics rank display
7. Auto-installation of pMetrics javascript code

Coming Soon

8. Auto-installation of affiliate banner in sidebar
9. Blog sales page with detailed pMetrics statistics
10. Feedburner integration

and much more…sky’s the limit.
