• Hi there!

    I’ve “modded” my installation of stats to include a couple of more metrics that I find invaluable for my podcast. Unfortunately, my WP/frontend skills are so lame I can’t make it look nice, so I’ll just send the suggestions here.

    1. At least here in Sweden, podcasts are regularly measured by “total listens per week”, when benchmarking for advertisers, and so on. For this, I am using the following SQL:

    $sql = "SELECT COUNT(id) AS listens, FROM_DAYS(TO_DAYS(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) -MOD(TO_DAYS(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) -1, 7)) AS week FROM $this->_table GROUP BY FROM_DAYS(TO_DAYS(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) -MOD(TO_DAYS(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) -1, 7))";

    2. As I post new episodes, I like to keep track of “first day listens”, to see how popular each new episode is. That is, I want to know how many listens each episode got on its first day (the day it was published). For this:

    $sql = "SELECT wp_posts.post_title, COUNT(wp_ssp_stats.id) AS antal,						DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(wp_ssp_stats.date), '%Y-%m-%d') AS datum
    FROM
    wp_posts
    JOIN wp_ssp_stats
    ON wp_posts.ID = wp_ssp_stats.post_id
    WHERE LEFT(wp_posts.post_date, 10) = DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(wp_ssp_stats.date), '%Y-%m-%d')
    GROUP BY
    wp_ssp_stats.post_id, DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(wp_ssp_stats.date), '%Y-%m-%d')
    ORDER BY antal DESC";

    These are some great suggestions and things that we’ll definitely keep in mind as we continue to add functionality to Seriously Simple Stats. Thanks so much for sharing.
