falkencreative Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Just curious... what web stats do you use? Anyone use anything besides Google Analytics? I'm giving Mint a shot (http://haveamint.com/) and I really like what I see so far, even if it did cost me $30. I like that it shows current data, and you don't have to wait around for it like you do for Google Analytics (yes, I'm impatient. ) As I said... anyone use anything other than Google Analytics that I should look at? I like statistics... even if they don't mean much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Anyone use Yahoo's analytics? (http://web.analytics.yahoo.com/). It looks nice too, at least at first glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwsimon Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I've used statcounter.com for a long time, but will probably self-host AWStats in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
administrator Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I use awstats and Google analytics (formally Urchin) and that's good for me. Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelfimage Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Besides using GA, I also use http://mon.itor.us/, http://www.quantcast.com/, and cms made simple statistics module and sometimes the vistors module. I'll need to check out the Yahoo product - I haven't seen it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PicnicTutorials Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I've only used awstats so far. Is Google analytics worth the trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, I'm a bit of a numbers geek... Google Analytics seems to provide my traffic information in a clean, attractive way. I'm not sure if GA tracks 404s though, or at least I can't find it, so that's unfortunate. Still, I think I like Mint best out of the three (GA, AWstats, Mint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonj Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well, I'm a bit of a numbers geek... Google Analytics seems to provide my traffic information in a clean, attractive way. I'm not sure if GA tracks 404s though, or at least I can't find it, so that's unfortunate. Still, I think I like Mint best out of the three (GA, AWstats, Mint). just did a quick search for the GA 404 reporting: - Reporting on missing or error pages requires a few steps: 1. Add the Google Analytics tracking code to a custom 404 error page 2. Modify the tracking code on the 404 page as follows (see the urchinTracker modification in red below): This code sends a virtual pageview of "/404.html?page=[pagename.html?queryparameter]" to your account, where [pagename.html?queryparameters] is the missing page name. 3. Look for /404.html in your Top Content report. Or to make it easier open the Dynamic Content report and expand the list for "/404.html."
