MyBlogLog Introduces ClickTagging
MyBlogLog has introduced a neat little tool that supplements their core functionality. Recall that MyBlogLog is a website statistics service that tracks clicks on outbound links. It is a great way to know what readers are clicking on.
They have introduced a new tool called ClickTagging. When a reader hovers over a link, a tiny popup box appears next to the link showing the reader how many other readers have clicked that link in the last 24 hours.
Here is a screen shot:
When the mouse hovers over the ClickTag, a header appears stating “MyBlogLog Outgoing Link Tracking”:
Clicking the ClickTag returns the user to the MyBlogLog site. Displayed is the total stats for that link showing Rank, Host Site, and number of clicks.
Again, ClickTagging pertains to outgoing links only. Links that have not been clicked within the last 24hrs do not reveal a pop-up tag of any kind.
Is this useful?
At the very least, it lets readers know what others have found interesting enough to click on. Interest tends to generate more interest.
