Getting feedback makes sharing links a lot more fun. And so we created Bemba Stats! As of today you can see – in real-time – how many times people click on the links you share on Facebook, Hyves, Twitter, your blog and Bemba. Charts, graphs and tables galore!
Link sharing statistics are cool (and useful!)
Bemba Stats adds value to your link sharing experience for several reasons:
- You always get feedback
- The feedback is instant and continuous
- Learn what your friends like and don’t like
- Develop an understanding on the differences between the social platforms
Bemba Stats is unique: no other link sharing service provides you with this kind of data!
Statistics dashboard
The Stats front page provides an overview of recent click activity. The main view here is ‘past 7 days’, so you can see if clicks are going up or down. If you use Bemba to share on multiple social platform you’ll love the graph that shows the clicks per social platform per day. Here’s what this might look like:
The dashboard provides six graphs/tables:
- Total clicks in the past 7 days
- Clicks per social platform in the past 7 days
- Total clicks for your 5 most recent Shared Pages (we call links Shared Pages)
- Clicks for your 5 most clicked Shared Pages of all time
- Clicks per social platform in past 7 days
- Clicks on Bemba in past 7 days
Zoom in on the details
For every link you share with friends Bemba creates a Stats Details page containing six graphs/tables:
- Clicks in first 24 hours
- Clicks in past 7 days
- Clicks per social platform in past 7 days
- Clicks on Bemba in past 7 days

How Bemba tracks clicks
Bemba creates a short URL (ie. http://bemba.com/b/13674) and inserts this everywhere: on Facebook, Twitter, Bemba.com, Hyves, and in the Bemba blog widget. Every time someone clicks the link, we do ‘+1’ in our database and immediately send the user to the destination url (via 301 redirect). It’s fast, simple and effective.
Google Chart API
All line graphs are created on the fly using the sweet Google Chart API. The Bemba Stats webpages simply requests a PNG image from the Google Chart API server and Google returns the PNG instantly. It works like a charm.
