Benefits of joining Gadging.com

1. Gadging allows you to selectively share your Google Analytics data to the entire world. You can use the provided RSS feeds of your data on your own sites and blogs.

2. Each Google Analytics profile is displayed on its own page which shows the most popular pages, geographic distribution of your visitors and other stats.

3. Your popular articles may be featured on the front page too under the Most Popular section. Your less popular pages may also be featured in the least popular section on the front page. That is not all.

4. Random pages from all the sites are also highlighted on front page too, thereby allowing pages from any sites to be featured.

We created Gadging.com to allow us to display Google Analytics data on our front page (Hot Topics). In the process we decided to share it to all. You can use any RSS displayer plugin to display the data from Gadging on your own site.

Currently we support Google Analytics only. We have plans to support other analytics software soon.
