Bloggers use plugins for everything from adding monetization platforms, social network correlation and RSS feeds. There are plugins for almost anything a website owner might want. Infolinks examined its top 200 earning websites to learn what the most popular plugins are and find out the cause. Google Analytics, the Facebook Social plugin, and Quantcast are the top three plugins running on the reviewed sites.
Google Analytics is a top choice for website owners looking to glean more infolinks about their visitors. 67% of the websites reviewed in this study currently use Google Analytics to study the visitors on their site. Interestingly, 48% of the top websites use Quantcast, another analytics software program that measures and organizes visitor data.
The power social media has over the making or breaking a website or story is well known. Facebook’s plugin, the Facebook Social Plugin, allows stories and sites to go viral and increase their popularity. This is probably why the Facebook plugin is on 71% of the websites in this study.
Website owners and bloggers gain insight into how visitors arrive to their pages via search, referrals, link-backs and more with Google Analytics and Quantcast. This invaluable information makes it possible to create content that your visitors want. The overlapping of two analytic systems may be due to the fact that neither of these programs claim to be 100% accurate and website owners want different perspectives.
Adding the Facebook Social plugin is the simplest way to have your content shared on Facebook. A click of a button instantly shares your work with a whole new crowd and wider variety of people than might visit your site on their own.
Speaking of plugins, Infolinks recently launched its newest WordPress plugin (Infolinks also has a plugin for Blogger, Joomla and Drupal). The plugin makes it even simpler and faster to add Infolinks ads to websites with a few clicks of the mouse. The new and improved Infolinks WordPress plugin is even better than the last with improved user ability and time-saving qualities.
A well maintained website is one that is able to keep track of its readers and promote its content all at the same time. The top 200 highest earning websites have that in common with high numbers using Google Analytics and the Facebook Social plugin. Get the most out of your time and start earning instantly with the Infolinks Integration plugin, adding high quality ads with ease.
