There are a huge amount of WordPress plugins out there that offer statistics. Some of them are as simple as easily inserting Google Analytics code into your theme while others are full-blown tie-ins with WordPress.com. If you’d rather not have your stats stored on someone else’s server you might want to look at StatPress.

Once you activate StatPress the plugin begins to store visitor data for your blog in real-time. Then you can check out information on your traffic in stats using a nice dashboard style interface (seen above).
