Who would have thought? A service that includes real time tracking and a way to get more traffic. Spotplex provides users with ranking, up to the hour, of blog articles based on actual impression count. You’ll be able to discover what is hot for the day, the week, or the month. In this arena, popularity is not calculated by votes but what was actually read within a certain timeframe.

By signing up your blog you’ll be able to track and analyze blog traffic with a simple code supplied by Spotplex that can be placed within a text widget (if you are working with WordPress).

The additional plus with their tracking is that you’ll be able to view the number of times an article has been read. It is a great way to determine which topics are most popular. All articles viewed on your site will show up on Spotplex’s actual website real-time and be displayed for other Spotplex users to check out.

What else?

Spotplex also has convenient bookmarking option for each of your collected posts.

You have a variety of bookmarking services to choose, ranging from blinklist, yahoo, furl or even the most popular digg service. All of the bookmarks are at your fingertips to easily add your post to another community of readers, expanding the number of readership opportunities in one area. To view the bookmarking options, click on ‘Share It’ for the list to appear. Very convenient.

Also, Spotplex is now OpenID enabled. What is that? OpenID is sorta like a passport to all websites requiring a username and password. For those websites supported by OpenID, you’ll never have to go through a registration process again. Especially with the booming popularity of many websites that require a sign-in, OpenID potentially can alleviate some of that pain of having to remember another username/password combo or go through another registration process.

Not only has Spotplex signed on but WordPress.com, Technorati and a few others.
