    Both my sites require manual approvement of new members so that gets checked first.

    Secondly I hit the 'new posts' button to see if there is anything spammy or queries to deal with.

    On here I check for reported posts, then alerts, and then 'What's New'

    Just curious; if I may ask, what stats do you record?

    For IPS it goes: Staff Forums > Client Lounge > Feedback Forum > Bug Tracker (because by the time I get here I'm also doing tickets).

    For other forums I moderate at: Staff forums > My Assigned Forums.

    I only use View New Content on forums I'm an administrator at, so for those it's usually Staff Forums > VNC.

    Forums I'm a member (non-staff) of... I only check the forums I'm interested in. I don't use VNC for these... it's faster for me to just check them individually using tabs.

    Let me say at the outset that stats aren't really a big deal to me usually. I'm recording them currently out of curiosity to see the difference between AdX on IPB and now on XenForo :)

    With that said, the stats I'm monitoring are:-

    Posts/Threads/Active Members/ Registrations

    Via Google Analytics
    Bounce Rate
    Keywords
    Search Engine Traffic
    Average Time On Site

    Via Google Webmaster Tools
    Sitemap URLs
    Sitemap URLs Indexed
