Analytics
How many people read your stories, which ones, and where they came from.
PublishMe counts readers itself, without cookies and without storing anything that identifies a person. There's nothing to set up.
What you see#
- Page views and Readers, each compared with the period before.
- Views per story and Stories published in the period.
- Daily views, as a chart.
- Top stories — your most read in the period.
- Sources, Categories and Languages — where readers came from, and what they read.
| Source | Means |
|---|---|
| Direct | Typed the address, a bookmark, or an app that hides where it came from. |
| Search engines | Google, Bing and others. |
| Social | Facebook, Instagram, X and similar. |
| WhatsApp · Telegram | Links shared in chats. |
| On-site navigation | Readers moving from one of your pages to another. |
| Other sites | Links from anywhere else. |
Choosing the period#
Use Today or Yesterday, or open the date menu for Last 7 days, Last 30 days (the default) or any range up to 90 days. Days follow your site's time zone.
How fresh and how exact#
- A visit shows up within about 5 minutes.
- Only story pages are counted. The ePaper has its own numbers — see ePaper.
- Reader counts are estimates, accurate to about 2%.
Google Analytics as well#
If you also want Google Analytics or a Meta Pixel, add them in Integrations (on the Growth and Pro plans). They run alongside these numbers.
