11 Twitter Analytics Features I Want

by Andy Brudtkuhl on January 13, 2009

To start off, I want to point out that by analytics – I do not just mean follower numbers/trends/etc. I am aware of services like twittercounter, tweetstats, etc. By analytics I am talking about raw data that you get from your web analtyics service. Most of these cannot be accomplished via 3rd-party services and must be implemented by Twitter. Or - even better - they could allow us to embed our own analytics packages on our profile page. I can only imagine the power of Twitter+Clicky :-)

Here are 11 Twitter Analytics features I would like to see added to the service

  1. Page Views – raw page view numbers for my profile
  2. Inbound Links – who is linking to my profile and how many are there
  3. Referrals – followers acquired from other users’ tweets
  4. Bounce Rate – how many people get to my profile and leave, and how long did they stick around
  5. GeoTargeting – where are people viewing my profile from
  6. Click Tracking – how many people click on links I share? (TweetBurner)
  7. Re-Tweet Tracking – how many retweets am I getting and who is doing it
  8. Search Traffic – how many people arrive to my profile via Twitter Search or Google Search and from what keywords
  9. Reports – Example: bounce rate vs new follower ratio
  10. Trending Followers – like twittercounter, only baked in
  11. Unfollowers – qwitter

What analytics features do you want to see added to Twitter? Would you pay for Twitter Analytics? Let us know in the comments!
