Reading your topic dashboard
What the vote breakdown, trend chart, tracking links and comments on a topic page tell you.
Updated
Open any topic from Topics to see its page.
Vote breakdown
How votes split across the topic’s links, in the same colours readers saw. This is the quickest answer to “how did this topic land?”
Trend chart
Votes per day over the last 7, 14, 30 or 90 days, or all time. On All time, the chart’s totals match the stats at the top of the page. See Trend chart windows.
Click-through (Embed topics)
For topics using the Embed format, IssuePulse compares votes with counted opens. If 400 readers opened the block and 40 voted, click-through is 10%. It’s capped at 100%.
Tracking links
Your links, ready to copy, with a live preview of how they’ll look.
Reader comments
Comments readers left after voting, next to the vote they came with. See Reader comments.
Reading the numbers well
One issue tells you very little. Four issues in a row tell you what to write next. Look for a topic whose “Loved this” or “More on this” share keeps growing, and for one whose “Too long” or “Not relevant” share won’t go away.
