30. Number of post views

Number of views on a post would be useful for poster, writer, or a business.

Currently LinkedIn provides number of views on a post. Facebook, Google+, and Blogspot don't provide views on a post. Many people didn't "like" a post, because they didn't want to leave their user name there.

If you are an owner of a blog or a web site, you would be interested in number of views for a post and where those viewers were from, e.g. a country or city.

If a post promoted a product, you would be able to gear your sales of that product and similar products to that region. This is kind of business intelligent and CRM.

If you're a media owner, you would write similar articles/subjects that had drawn many viewers. This would attract viewers to your web page, where you could do commercial or advertising of products for commission.

Notes:


* December 27, 2018: Blogspot does provide total number of views for a blog and location of viewers. However this is not very useful if there are many different posts in a blog.

Actually blogspot did provide number of views per post or a page if you entered the "design -> Stat" mode. However it didn't provide location of viewers in this mode.

They should support a UI to present data in an easy way to view this useful information, e.g. based on viewers in descending order

- Most viewed posts or pages
- Location of viewers included.

* February 4, 2018: If you're curious about gearing sales to a region based on views, you should check IP address of viewers. Each region has been allocated a unique IP range.
