We could count all the posts and words written by Rising Voices bloggers. Or we could count the number of comments left on those posts. But would that really give a meaningful measurement of ‘impact’?

There will never be a perfect science to evaluating and comparing the relative “success” of each project and Rising Voices in general, but I do think that I could do a much better job analyzing and sharing the web stats of the major Rising Voices websites.

There are four major site statistic services: Site Meter, WordPress Stats, Woopra, and Google Analytics. I know that Nari Jibon uses Site Meter. Are any of the rest of the projects using another service to keep track of site visits, referring pages, and used search words?

I think it would be helpful if we all used the same service to measure our site statistics. Then, every two weeks I could take a look at all of the stats and distribute reports. My recommendation is that we all use Site Meter since it is the most transparent service. What do you think?
