One of the most popular post I have written recently is the Web Analytics Reports in SharePoint 2010 so I thought I would just write a quick follow up on another component to the built web analytics side of SharePoint 2010, and that is the OOTB (out of the box) web part for displaying the results on a dashboard page.

This webpart is quite limited as compared to the full reports you can only see 3 sections of the reports that is:-

Most Viewed Content, Most Frequent Site Search Queries or Most Frequent Search Centre Queries

You can also choose from this site collection, this site and subsite or this site only. The only other filtering you can do with the webpart is the time period to display ranging from 24 hours up to 180 days and also the amount of items to display in the results up to a maximum of 100. The best thing I found with this webpart is the RSS feature which will enable me to monitor basic usage information from within Outlook.
