Tracking Post “impressions”?

    Dear WP community.

    I currently am wanting to gather statistics for brands that we have written about on our blog, but currently I am only able to count the pageviews through google analytics when someone clicks on the post’s “view more” or “comment” button.

    Is there any possible way to count how many times a post is loaded without the reader having to click on such links?

    Thank you for the help!

    You might try using an embedded single pixel image token within each post. Each time the image is called up, you should have a reference to the page/URI in question. Simply combining an existing solution (like ones commonly used to track ppc campaigns) with your blog posts might do the trick, but would not likely mesh with the WP admin interface.

    As a side note: You’d might be able to create a plugin interface which loads the admin interface for the system within the WP Admin Panel/Dashboard by hard coding your login and password for the system into a simple php page.
