you’re not in there frequently the navigation may change. For now, the Author
Stats are located in the left navigation under “Labs” dropdown menu (see figure
1).

The next screen will display your statistics. You’ll be able
to see stats from 1) your website/blog, 2) blogs that you contribute to, 3)
your Google+ profile stats (see figure 3).
The stats that Google offers are:
·
Impressions: how many times your authored page
showed in the SERPs,
·
Clicks: the number of clicks your article
received,
·
CTR: the click-through-rate of your article,
which is impressions divided by clicks. This gives you an idea of your title’s
effectiveness,

·
Avg. Position: your article may show in many
positions, this number shows you the average position that your article is seen
in.

action plan to improve them towards your business goals: increase leads,
increase product sales, increase brand awareness, or others.
