WordPress.com adds blogstats feature

Just notice this now that free blog hosting service WordPress.com has a built-in blog stats. I took a screenshot below:

Reminds you of the WP-Shortstats plugin but a little bit simplier. It has a list of referrers which you can track for the last 7 days, top posts in terms of page views and search engine terms all tracked for the last 7 days. There’s also a graph of blog stats summary but that’s all (no unique visitor count).

The problem with WordPress.com though is you can update it with your own codes or your own theme. You can’t install plugins as well. That’s why not a lot of people are using it (and still stick with Blogspot). I guess all these feature must-haves will come out soon.
