Building a picture of your readers behavior is a great way to ensure that you really do understand them. The general stats utility that comes with Wordpress does a pretty good job of presenting you with some basic stats and those are fairly useful for getting a high level picture of what goes on with your blog.

However, if you really want to know more about your readers then I recommend adding a few extra plugins to give you a more in depth view of what readers do when they are on your site. One of those is WP-Click-Tracker. This plugin provides you with the ability to track all clicks on your posts.

Firstly the plugin scans your posts, finds all the links and then adds a descriptor to the anchor tag so that they are now trackable. It also provides you with the ability to create your own standalone trackable links. What is really nice about this plugin is that it provides the data in both numeric and graphical forms allowing you to quickly assess what your readers are clicking on when they visit your site and therefore allowing you to fine tune your posts.
