Majority of WordPress blog themes have a search box included in the sidebar. Blog search box is a great usability tool to provide to your blog visitors, they can easily search for the information they want to get. It provides usability to your visitor, and it provides stickiness to your blog as the visitor is bound to stay longer on your blog site if they find what they search.
That is the key question here, do your visitors find what they search for through your blog search box?
Search Meter plugin for WordPress blogs helps you keep your blog focused on what your visitors want to read. It does this by keeping track of what your blog visitors are searching for in your search box.
Search Meter will automatically record what your blog visitors are searching for and whether they are finding what they are looking for. Search Meter keeps an archive of what your blog site visitors have been searching for in the last couple of days, and in the last week or month.
It also shows you which searches have been unsuccessful. If people search your blog and get no results, they will most probably go elsewhere. With Search Meter plugin installed, you’ll be able to find out what your visitors are searching for, and give them what they want by creating new blog posts on those blog topics.
Search Meter installs easily and requires no configuration. Just install it, activate it, and it starts tracking your blog visitor searches. As usual, this is another free WordPress plugin.
