I’ve been using Statcounter and GA, and to be honest I’m not too happy with either. I prefer Stat but get some weird looking stats that don’t pan out with Statcounter, and I don’t really “get” GA, I guess it’s a conceptual thing where we all process different information slightly differently.

I suppose as far as SERPs go, Google places a fair bit of weight on visitor activity from the data it collects from GA, that’s how I understand it, but tell me if I’m wrong.

But for now I’ll head over and have a look this.

I really hope that when you say it uses a hit counter that you’re confusing it with something else. Hit counters in no way give you correct information about the number of people visiting your site.

Anyway, I’m with the other commenters. Google Analytics and WordPress Stats are what I use.

Do you actually use gostats Jason? I’m searching for the best blog stats tracking – preferably live with graphs to make it easy to see trends.

Google Analytics refuses to display properly on either of my PCs in any browser. I have been unable to determine whether it is because I run Ubuntu or is a Flash or Java problem or something else.

I bet Andy Beard knows which stats are best.

Yea, I feel the same.

What does this have that makes it better than Google Analytics?

I feel sorry for anybody trying to offer a paid service against Google’s free offerings. I’ll check them out though.

Good reminder. Tracking is everything on the Internet, if anyone wants to grow their online business. Without tracking, it’s like shooting in the dark. Maybe a bullet will find a bull eye’s due to sheer dumb luck. But the pros know better…
