The tracker will tell you where your activist efforts are generating the most contacts (unique hits) in the “referrers” section. It being public, all other activists will be able to see what you are doing, how effective you are (total hits) and what they need to do to improve their own effectiveness.
Overall time taken setting up an email, a blog and a tracker: email 3 minutes; blog 4 minutes; tracker 4 minutes
