Tracking incoming Traffic…
-
Hello…
We have created a QR barcode that links to our blog site. Is there a way to track how many people come into the site from scanning that code?
Thanks,
Kristi

Hi there,
Those visits would likely be registered as direct visits, and so won’t be listed in your referrers.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/You might consider generating your QR code based on a redirecting URL (that you could set up elsewhere), so that you could track the stats for visits using that link.

Thanks… I wouldn’t be able to set up this domain in wordpress is that correct? I would have to use a different registrar?

No, that functionality wouldn’t be possible here. What you might want to do is just register a short URL at https://bitly.com/ that directs to your blog here, then set the QR code for the bit.ly URL.
Bit.ly offers their own tracking, so you can keep track of the QR code usage through them.
