I’m launching the first ever (un)official Woopra Live users contest. If you’ve got Woopra, and you click on the Live tab up on the top right, you can see the number of current users on your site at any give time. I’m kicking it off with the current record. So, lets see who can beat 1,352 simultaneous users!!!

The prize for beating me will be one crisp new US Dollar. Good luck!

Capitalism is alive and kicking. I was wondering how long it would take before someone actually began selling the invite codes on eBay. Now we know!

Folks, our friend Johny has uploaded a Woopra overview video which is so comprehensive it even taught me a couple of things about how the application works!

If you’re using Woopra currently, I recommend that you spend 10 minutes with the video and pick up at least a few new tricks. If not, you can see what all the buzz is about, and what you’ll soon be able to get access to.

This got me to thinking… why should people have to go elsewhere to conduct the search, I worked out a method to integrate this into the site without having to leave when I wrote my article on How to Bootleg Everything! So, here is a simple little form you can use to see what your Blog’s Digg saturation level is.

Several people have been asking me lately what I use to measure traffic statistics here on One Man’s Blog. Well, in addition to occasionally downloading my server logs and running some software on them to see the official stats, I use Performancing P-Metrics whenever I want to get a quick glance.

Frankly P-Metrics has the most comprehensive feature set around and will allow you to learn more about a site’s visitors than any other package that I am aware of. This includes everything from stats by page, referrer, search words, and even a wickedly cool real time monitor! So I whipped up a demo video to give you a glimpse behind the scenes here at OMB.
