Readers from Twitter
-
I published a post about an hour ago and my Stats page shows that I have already received 500 or so readers of it via Twitter. That’s great, of course, but how do I figure out where on Twitter they came from and who provided the link?
Many thanks in advance for help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You don’t and can’t isolate which person it is as that would be a privacy issue. See here for details on stats http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ and here for referrers http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#referrers

Thank you, timethief. But I’m not interested in who the visitors are, but rather in how they found my blog. I’m guessing they followed a link on Twitter. But I don’t know of a way to see all the times and places my post was linked on Twitter and which links provided readers in which quantities. There’s a number in the Twitter section of “Share this” that I think is the number of Twitter links, but there’s no further detail. I don’t see how a disclosure of public Twitter links to my blog has any privacy implications, but I could be wrong.
Thanks again in advance for help.

If you click on that number usually it will take you to a list of everyone who has tweeted the link. With 500 clickthroughs I believe your link has to have been tweeted by someone with over 100,000 followers, so they should be easy to spot.

Hi raincoaster — When I click on the number I get a window for *my* sharing the post on Twitter. Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm, you’re right. Even a search turns up only two links https://twitter.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Frpseawright.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F11%2F13%2Fa-disaster-waiting-to-happen%2F&src=typd

Actually, that answers it. Josh (who’s a friend) has lots of very loyal and active followers.
Many thanks.
