Summary
Your evergreen post still drives 40% of new subscribers
Your post from 6 months ago brought 47 of last month's 117 new subscribers. Worth refreshing it, linking to it from new posts, and considering a follow-up in the same style.
Why analytics matter for Ghost sites
Ghost has solid built-in analytics for members and email open rates. What it doesn't have is full traffic and source data. You can see your subscriber count climbing, but figuring out which post brought them in or where they came from is harder. Muro fills the gap with traffic source tracking, conversion events, and plain-language summaries about what's actually moving the needle.
How to add Muro to Ghost
Setting up Muro on your Ghost blog takes about two minutes:
01
Open Ghost admin
Log into your Ghost admin, click Settings in the left sidebar, then click Code Injection.
02
Paste the Muro script
Drop the Muro script tag into the Site Footer field. This injects it on every post, page, and tag archive automatically.
03
Save
Click Save settings. Muro starts tracking right away on your live site. First insights arrive the next morning.
Works on every Ghost plan, including Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted Ghost. Compatible with every theme.

Real situations where Muro helps Ghost users
These are the kinds of moments where a daily insight email beats a dashboard.
01
An old post still drives most of your new subscribers
Muro tracks the page where each conversion happens. If a post from 6 months ago is still bringing in members, you'll know. From there, refresh it, link to it from new posts, or write a follow-up.
02
You can't tell whether your newsletter referral or your blog drives more members
Muro shows you the source of every member signup. If it turns out 70% come from organic search and your newsletter is barely contributing, you know where to focus your effort.
03
You launched a new tier and want to know which posts drive upgrades
Muro tracks visits to your pricing or upgrade pages by source. You'll see which content sends people who actually upgrade versus who just reads and bounces.
What you'll actually get
Muro doesn't show you charts. It tells you what matters. Here's an example insight a Ghost site might receive.
Tips for getting more out of Muro on Ghost
Quick wins from people who use Muro every day.
Use the Site Footer field in Code Injection. The Site Header works too, but Footer is slightly better for performance.
If you self-host Ghost, the same Code Injection workflow applies. There's no difference in setup between Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted.
Ghost's member data stays in Ghost. Muro tracks anonymous visitor behavior, which is complementary, not duplicate.
If you use affiliate links in your posts, Muro automatically tracks outbound clicks, which is hugely useful for affiliate publishers.
