Promotion/ Tracking Tools:  

TypePad costs a bit but offers more promotional tools than most services. For example, this service can automatically submit your blog and updates to Google and Technorati, as well as directories like blo.gs and weblogs.com. It can also submit through your FeedBurner account.

It offers the best statistics that we have seen, including total page views, average views per day, views in the last week and recent views. They also track referrers by post, including the time of the visit and it tracks your photo album traffic stats. TypePad stats are accurate to within five minutes.

Ease of Use:  

Although this product is generally easy–to–use and does not require coding experience, some aspects are a bit confusing. One is the type list feature, through this feature you can add supplemental information like links or email addresses. We looked at their help pages to try to figure out how to add a graphic to a list, but never figured out how to get it displayed.

However, most features of this service are user friendly and their interface is clean and well–organized.

Technical Help/Support:  

You can get help from FAQs, tutorials, documentation or by reading weblogs. If you cannot find the information that you are looking for you can contact them by email and request a help ticket for individualized assistance.

TypePad is a no–nonsense, practical service with great promotion and tracking tools.
