Libsyn's basic stats package lets you keep track of how well your podcast is doing. Basic stats provide information such as the number of downloads for your show over time, as well as the number of times each of your episodes have been downloaded.

To access your stats, click Stats at the top of your Libsyn 5 account. 

Overview of Your Podcast Stats

When you first open the Statistics page, it provides an overview of your podcast's statistics. You can see information such as your show's all-time downloads, as well as downloads over the past week, month, or downloads over the last 7 days, 30 days, or year. These numbers represent your podcast as a whole, so they count downloads across all of your episodes.

In any of the graphs, you can hover your mouse cursor over the line to see more specific numbers, as shown in the image below.

Episode Statistics

The Statistics page also provides more detailed statistics about each of your episodes. You can get a quick view of how your last five episodes are doing in the Last 5 Episodes graph, or you can search for specific episodes in the Episode Totals table.

Last 5 Episodes

The Last 5 Episodes graph provides an easy-to-read overview of your last five episodes' performance. The bars in the graph are color coded so you can easily see how each of your episodes did in the first 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days since their release, as well as all time.

You can hover your mouse cursor over any of the bars to see a breakdown of the numbers for that episode, as shown below.

Episode Totals

The Episode Totals table lists all of the episodes you have published. The table also lists the dates you published each episode, and gives you download statistics for the first 7, 30, and 90 days after an episode's release, as well as all-time totals. (See also FAQ: Why Don't I Have Any First 7 Stats?.)

In the Episode Totals table, you can:

a.	Click Previous or Next, or click a page number to scroll through all of your episodes.
b.	Search for a specific episode. To do so, click on the icon and enter the first few letters of the title (or a word in the title) that you're looking for in the Search bar. The system filters out episodes as you type.
c.	Click a specific episode to open a page where you can see more details about that episode's statistics. See View Statistics for a Specific Episode.

Podcast Statistics over Different Date Ranges

The final section in the basic stats package provides more information about your podcast downloads as a whole. With these features, you can review downloads over a specific date range, and you can see download activity over days, weeks, or months.

Set a Specific Date Range

The date range you set in the calendar affects which days you'll be able to review in the graph. To change the date range, click the Statistics By Date Range button to open the calendar.

To set a date range in the calendar, you can:

When you're done selecting dates, click Select Dates in the upper-right of the calendar to apply them.

See Download Activity for Your Podcast as a Whole

The graph below the Statistics By Date Range button shows downloads based on the date range you selected for your podcast as a whole. That means that download numbers include all downloads for all episodes of your podcast over the date range you selected.

You can use the graph to look closely at specific dates or smaller date ranges within the larger range you set in the calendar. Here are your options for using the graph:

a.	Click the button in the upper-right to switch between daily, weekly, and monthly stats.
b.	Hover your mouse cursor over the graph line to see specific download numbers.
c.	Click View Table to display a table with downloads organized by date. Click Hide Table to hide it again.
d.	Hover over the  icon and then push or pull to see more or less detail in the graph. You can push or pull the icon on the left as well as the one on the right.

Downloads by Episodes

The Downloads by Episode table lists all your episodes that received downloads during the selected date range. The table lists the dates you published each episode and how many times the episode was downloaded during the date range. 

In the Downloads by Episode table, you can:

a.	Click Previous or Next, or click a page number to scroll through all of your episodes.
b.	Search for a specific episode. To do so, click on the icon and enter the first few letters of the title (or a word in the title) that you're looking for in the Search bar. The system filters out episodes as you type.
c.	Click a specific episode to open a page where you can see more details about that episode's statistics. See View Statistics for a Specific Episode.
