Display Top Posts in WordPress with Google Analytics

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

In today’s tutorial we show you one way of displaying a list of the most popular posts in your WordPress template or sidebar. To do this you must first set up your site to use Google Analytics and make sure you’ve placed the code snippet in your theme’s footer.php. Next install the “Google Analytics Dashboard” plugin which can be found here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-dashboard/

We tested this with version 2.0.3 of the Google Analytics Dashboard wordpress plugin.

<?php
	// options
	$showposts = 3; // how many posts/pages to display?
	$days = 30; // how many days back to calculate?
 
	// do not edit below this line
	$thispost = 1;
	$start = date('Y-m-d', (time() - (60 * 60 * 24 * $days)));
	$end = date('Y-m-d');
	$login = new GADWidgetData(get_option('gad_auth_token'), get_option('gad_account_id'));
	$ga = new GALib('client', $login->auth_token, '', '', $login->account_id);
	$pages = $ga->pages_for_date_period($start, $end);
	echo "<ul>";
	foreach($pages as $page) {
		$url = $page['value'];
		$title = $page['children']['value'];
		// ignore these page titles
		$ignore = array(
			'(not set)',
			'Page Title 1',
			'Page Title 2'
		);
		if(!in_array($title, $ignore)){
			// list any strings you would like to remove from the titles
			$remove = array(
				" | Company Name",
				" « Company Name"
			);
			$newtitle = str_replace($remove, "", $title);
			echo '<li><a href="' . $url . '" rel="nofollow">' . $newtitle . '</a></li>';
			$thispost++;
		}
		if($thispost > $showposts) break;
	}
	echo "</ul>";
?>

Content Placement and Keyword Density

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Content Placement

The order in which you place your content is important. Since search engine web crawlers only index up to a certain amount of data for a given page, unique content should come first to ensure it gets indexed. This has the added benefit of placing your page’s unique content first in the hierarchy of your page’s content.

Keyword Density

You also want to be sure to use your targeted keywords (the ones specified in that page’s META tags) in your unique content wherever possible, within reason. Don’t lose focus on providing readable content just to get more instances of your keywords in there.
