    Easily view site stats that use Clicky

    I just noticed that on Kevin Lim’s blog there is a tab that says ‘stats’ which links to a public Clicky page.

    I never realized before that Clicky had a public stat page for every user! What this means is if you know a website’s site id, you can view their stat page.

    How to find a sites Clicky ID

    If the site has the GetClicky button

    if the site has the button, it will usually have the image (like mine in the footer):

    get clicky

    if they do, just copy the the url, extract the number (that’s the site_id) and append it to:

    http://www.getclicky.com/stats/home?site_id=

    If the site doesn’t have the image

    A quick way to check if the site is even using get click is to view the page source (in Firefox, right-click, then select ‘view page source’), then do a search (ctrl + f in firefox) and search for ‘getclicky.com’. You will most likely see a line that looks like:

    ‘site_id’ above will be a number. Take taht number and append it to

    http://www.getclicky.com/stats/home?site_id=

    and you’ll be able to view their stats page!

    I hope this has been useful for you. Happy stats hunting!
