Most viewed posts tool with Google Analytics’s help

If you are new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Feel free to leave comments and questions too.Thanks for visiting!
Stumbling here and there on my friend’s blogs I stopped on Richard’s UntwistedVortex because I read a comment by someone who had some problem with the Top 100 posts plugin, because the classification will start only form when you install it.
A possible solution to this problem is my simple tool (Analytics top10 creator). It takes your Google Analytics data and show it in a nice and simple html table.
How does it work? You need to enter on your Google Analytics page, select view Report under Content Overview or click on Content/Top Content on the left menu.
For the next step you must decide how many voices do you want on that menu. To do that you select the number on the lower right side of the table. (see image below)
For the next step you must click on the Export button under “Top Content” and then click on CSV (see image below)
You will be asked to save a csv file on your computer. Remember where you save it! :-)
Now you just need to click on the button on my top menu that will open my tool. Just follow the explanation there (you just need to write your blog URL and load the CSV file you just saved) and you’ll get back a nice html table that you can easily put on a Text widget on Wordpress. Sorry Paula, but I don’t know how to save it on Blogger. I think there is some way to put an html table on a sidebar..if you can’t, just copy and paste it inside the template :)
If someone is interested on the PHP code, let me know and I’ll show with some explanations.

It looks like a great plugin. I’m going to install it on one of my sites and see how it goes.

You mean Google Analytics? Because my tool is not a Plugin (yet). You have to use it from my site.

It’s so funny that I was just thinking of manually doing this, then I read on another guy’s blog about your tool!
Okay, I’m going to try it now.
Thanks,
Maurizio
