I have said it here before, I am not a huge plugin user myself, so point well taken about adding in another. That having been said, I found it really interesting to install this plugin on my own site and to take a closer look at the aggregate Likes and Tweets that I have gotten on some of my posts. A few posts I had forgotten that I had written and it was surprising to see how popular they have become over time.

I am not sure about using extra plugins to track social media stats. I think I get enough analytics from the social media themselves, and the likes, shares and tweets from the actual post. Don’t plugins slow down your site anyway? I only use clicky and google analytics for stats now.

Hey Eileen I personally use the social stats plugin on my tech blog Morningtadka to get a clear picture of the popular posts.I will also try the other plugin.Very Informative post.
