You may have noticed the strange little mouseover effect on each outgoing link from my Blog:

I've been playing with "My Blog Log" to record some intersting facts about my Blog.

It works like this - you sign up for an account, then place a small piece of javascript into your Blog.

This piece of javascript records incoming links (which is not that useful as Awstats or Webalizer does it better):

It also records outgoing links…this is much more useful as the Blog owner can see what links are of interest to his readers - meaning the Blog owner can tailor his articles to what his readers are interested in:

The cost of the reporting feature is just $3 per month recurring, or $25 for a full year. For me, it is worth the $25 cost to see what links are popular on my site.

Try it out - there's a free 3-day trial available - it takes less than a couple of minutes to add the code and the reporting starts immediately! If you don't like it, remove the code and close the account: cost $0.
