Using Statigram to track your Instagram Stats



STATISTICS is the 2nd Main section of Statigram after VIEWER. If you have never clicked on the statistics tab while being logged in before you have to do so and then wait until your stats are generated.

STATISTICS / OVERVIEW contains 3 boxes, the first box is the summary snapshot which gives you all of the totals for # of pics, likes, comments, followings/followers, and there is a small line graph showing the fluctutations of your followings. The box beneath this gives your follow ins and outs over the last 7 days. The bottom box is your scores broken down by love, talk, and spread. Love is tied in to likes, and talk is tied in to comments. The rate is a percentage gauging your follower engagement, while the spread rate measures beyond your followers. There are 2 numbers listed, one for your last photo, and one for your last 15 photos.

The STATISTICS / ROLLING MONTH DETAILS page is also made up of boxes only this time they are set up in 2 columns. The Content Box compares how many pics you uploaded compared to last month. You will also find your most used filter, and most used tag listed here. On the right side is the Popular section. The Engagement Box on the left is for your likes, and the right Engagement Box is for your comments. Below both of these are Thumbnails of your recent most popular pictures. On this screen is also listed your follower growth comparisons as a whole in addition to your gain and losses for each day that you refresh your statigram statistics. To the right is the list of your most engaged followers and your follow to follow status in relation to them.

STATISTICS / CONTENT shows you how much you've posted in two breakdowns, first as a line graph representing the life of your account, and yearly bar graph showing the distributions either monthly or weekly. Density is the breakdown by day of the week and also a separate breakout for time of day. Your filter usage is listed next (on the left), along with tags and geo location data (on the right).

Stay tuned for PART 2 on Statigram STATISTICS.

Statigram Unlocks Your Instagram

Statigram is useful as an Instagram webtool because of all the rich data it provides you about your account. This allows you to make decisions about what you post and how you interact with others.

The easiest way to sign up for Statigram is via your Instagram login. The first main area of Statigram is the VIEWER section of the header bar. Which begins with your IG FEED. You can also organize the people you follow into groups to filter by your favorites or topic. This allows you to keep an eye on certain accounts without having to unfollow anyone. This is helpful in eliminating a cluttered timeline. This is much like the list function on twitter.

Statigram allows you to view content in 3 forms, grid, list, & detail. Grid gives you a quick overview of the pictures in your stream (or group stream). Liking pictures goes much quicker on Statigram than the normal way on IG. Use the list view to drill in for more data, enlarges the pic, shows comments, who like the picture, hashtags, etc. The detail view is a slideshow.

Continuing along the secondary line to VIEWER / MY MEDIA you get to your pictures. Here you have the option of sorting your photos into folders if you wish, there is also the same 3 viewing options as before grid/list/detail with the addition of sorting your photos into most commented or most liked. The sort by most likes is especially useful because in just one click you can review your most popular pics in descending order.

Then comes VIEWER / MY LIKES which is self-explanatory, it is all the pictures you have liked, and once again in the 3 viewing options. VIEWER rounds out with my followings, my followers, and popular. We'll talk more about followers in the STATISTICS / COMMUNITY section coming up. POPULAR is what is most popular across all of IG.
