Stat Counter + Google Analytics

JennaHatfield — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 21:17:09 -0500

We use both statcounter and google analytics. It gives us all the stuff we need to know. One without the other leaves SOMETHING out so using them together works well!

They all do, to an extent. I switched blog providers, and thought that was the only reason for the slight decrease in traffic, but I think moving from sitemeter to statcounter is part of that. Actually, I think sitemeter gives slightly inflated numbers.

Different stats

Virginia DeBolt — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:12:57 -0500

I've noticed that Feedburner and the Wordpress stat counters vary widely in their estimations of how much traffic you are getting. One wonders if they are all counting the same things.

If you really want to slice, dice, segment and analyze your traffic, your interest, your hottest topics, the Google Analytics does give you abundant informaion.

I was going to say

Virginia DeBolt — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:09:38 -0500

to Jennb01 that most people who use Stat Counter love it, and you come along and say you didn't. But I've sure seen a lot of people who use it recommend it to others when they ask about how to track visitors.

I use Google Analytics and like the amount of detail it provides, including where the visitors came from (e.g. search engines, referrals, etc.) as well as there geographical location.

StatCounter. I gave up on

StatCounter. I gave up on Sitemeter after a week-long outage last March. I love the little MyBlogLog widget that lets you see your recent visitors/stalkers. I was leery at first, but you can always opt to be "invisible."

I still love the quick daily snapshot

from MyBlogLog but am dropping it now that I've converted to Google Analytics. I've also used Site Meter. Interestingly enough, they create different pageview counts -- by 15 - 50%. Go figure.

Crazy Egg is interesting but they're crazy eggs to think that the pricing structure will gain traction in the marketplace. It's way too expensive for a blog of any size -- we're talking about, say, Crazy-Egg only expense 10% of ad revenue -- show me THAT ROI.

SiteMeter?

I haveused SiteMeter for several years, and I'm starting to compare google analytics to see which tells me more useful information. Not that I have enough readers to really need much.

I use and love stat counter. I use feed burner as well, but stat counter is the easiest I have found and gives really accurate real time information.
