Overview

Dyeink includes built-in analytics to help you understand how your blog is performing. Track views, shares, and published posts without needing external analytics tools.
All analytics are privacy-focused and don’t track individual users or use cookies. Only aggregate statistics are collected.

​
Accessing Analytics

You can view your analytics in two places:
  1. Dashboard - Quick overview of key metrics with a visual graph
  2. Stats - Detailed breakdown by metric type (Traffic, Sharing)
Both are accessible from the admin sidebar.

​
Dashboard Analytics

The Dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of your blog’s performance:

​
Key Metrics

Total Views

Cumulative page views across all your published posts

Total Shares

Number of times your posts have been shared

Published Posts

Count of live, published posts on your blog

​
Analytics Graph

The dashboard includes a 7-day trend graph showing:
  • Views (blue line) - Daily page views
  • Published (purple line) - Posts published each day
The graph helps you:
  • Spot trends in traffic
  • Correlate publishing activity with views
  • Identify your best-performing days
The graph shows data for the last 7 days. Historical data beyond 7 days is aggregated into total metrics.

​
Stats Page

For more detailed analytics, visit the Stats page from your admin sidebar.

​
Traffic Tab

The Traffic tab shows view-related metrics:
  • Total Views - All-time page views
  • Published - Number of published posts
Views are tracked per page load. If the same person visits a post multiple times, each visit counts as a view.

​
Sharing Tab

The Sharing tab tracks social engagement:
  • Total Shares - Number of times posts were shared
Shares are counted when visitors use the share buttons on your blog.

​
Understanding Your Metrics

​
Views

What counts as a view:
  • Each page load of a published post
  • Multiple views from the same visitor
  • Views from any source (direct, search, social, etc.)
What doesn’t count:
  • Previews in the editor
  • Admin panel visits
  • Unpublished draft views

​
Shares

What counts as a share:
  • Clicks on social share buttons
  • Shares via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
How shares are tracked:
  • Share buttons on your blog increment the counter
  • Each share button click is counted
  • Shares are attributed to the specific post

​
Published Posts

What counts:
  • Posts with published: true status
  • Live posts accessible on your blog
What doesn’t count:
  • Drafts
  • Deleted posts

​
Analytics Best Practices

Review your dashboard weekly to:
  • Track growth trends
  • Identify popular content
  • Understand publishing patterns
Use the graph to see:
  • Which publishing schedule works best
  • How new posts drive traffic
  • When your audience is most active
Share count indicates:
  • Content resonance
  • Social media appeal
  • Viral potential
High shares relative to views suggests compelling content.
Compare metrics week-over-week:
  • Are views trending up?
  • Is publishing frequency consistent?
  • Are shares increasing?

​
Reading the Analytics Graph

​
Graph Elements

The analytics graph uses:
  • X-axis: Date (last 7 days)
  • Y-axis: Count (views, published posts)
  • Blue area: Views per day
  • Purple area: Posts published per day

​
Interpreting Patterns

Normal pattern. New posts drive traffic:
  • Initial spike when you publish
  • Gradual decline over following days
  • SEO traffic may build over time
Indicates:
  • Steady audience
  • Good SEO performance
  • Evergreen content
May suggest:
  • Need for new content
  • Seasonal trends
  • Changes in audience interest
Action: Publish new posts to drive traffic.
Great sign! This means:
  • Organic search traffic
  • Social referrals
  • Returning visitors

​
Privacy and Data Collection

Dyeink analytics are designed with privacy in mind:

No Personal Data

We don’t collect names, emails, or IP addresses

No Cookies

Analytics work without tracking cookies

Aggregate Only

Only totals and counts are stored, no individual sessions

GDPR Compliant

Privacy-first approach meets data protection requirements

​
Comparing Metrics

​
Views per Post

To calculate average views per post: 
Average = Total Views / Published Posts
Example:
  • 1,000 total views
  • 10 published posts
  • Average: 100 views per post
A healthy blog often has a few high-performing posts that drive most traffic, with others receiving less. This is normal!

​
Share Rate

To calculate share rate: 
Share Rate = (Total Shares / Total Views) × 100%
Example:
  • 1,000 views
  • 50 shares
  • Share rate: 5%
A share rate above 2-3% is considered excellent. Most content has a share rate under 1%.

​
Common Analytics Questions

Possible reasons:
  • New blog (SEO takes time)
  • Not sharing on social media
  • Infrequent publishing
  • Niche topic with small audience
Tips to increase views:
  • Publish consistently (weekly or bi-weekly)
  • Share posts on social media
  • Optimize titles for search
  • Write about topics people search for
Legitimate crawlers (Google, Bing) are filtered out. Only real page loads from browsers count as views.
Currently, analytics are view-only in the dashboard. Export functionality may be added in future updates.
  • Graph: Last 7 days
  • Totals: All-time since your blog was created
Historical data is preserved even as the 7-day graph window moves forward.
Common causes:
  • Haven’t published recently
  • Seasonal interest (holidays, events)
  • Social media post no longer trending
  • Search ranking changes
Solution: Publish new, relevant content.

​
Tracking External Analytics

While Dyeink provides built-in analytics, you can also use external tools:

​
Google Analytics

To add Google Analytics:
  1. Create a Google Analytics account
  2. Get your tracking ID (e.g., G-XXXXXXXXXX)
  3. Add it to your blog’s custom code section (if available)
External analytics integration may vary. Check with Dyeink support for current implementation options.

​
Other Tools

  • Plausible - Privacy-focused alternative to GA
  • Fathom - Simple, GDPR-compliant analytics
  • Cloudflare Analytics - If using Cloudflare for DNS
These require adding tracking scripts to your blog.
