I’ve only ever used Google Analytics, and I think I would be very unlikely to stray from this as obviously they have billions of dollars development at their disposal whereas the others are much smaller scale. Still worth knowing whats out there though!

Article unfortunately does not cover GoSquared.com at all, which is probably the best tool out there with its easy to understand design, live chat, campaign tracking and all of the features the other platforms have…

Thank you for the list. What about awstats or webalizer? Are these tools categorized under another name as Website Analytics Tools?

Hey guys, I actually work for a company which develops our own web analytics solution. The thing is, it all started out with my boss trying to get the most relevant data about his campaigns (it was a matter of life and death) but no tool was good enough. That’s why he got together with a friend and they came up with what is now called Lytiks. We’re trying to incorporate what makes the most sense for any SMB owner or marketer. And of course, I use it myself to track our own traffic. For example, right now I’m going to give you a link with a tag on it, so I can see if anyone clicked on it by segmenting it out

Check it out if you’re curious (it’s also free): http://bit.ly/bKRnZy

Also, we love responding to people’s questions, so shoot us an email if you prefer!

Reading an older book on web analytics. Your opinion on AWStats and ClickTrack? What I’m seeing is that you still need a combination of analytics tools to get complete information.

GoingUp is not functional.
They have no end user support.
They have no knowledge base.
They have no community forum.
They do not answer user queries.
Data can ‘go stale’ and there is no fix for that event.
These flaws are more than a year old and have not been addressed by GoingUP.

Get Clicky. They only allow one site per free trial version, you must purchase an upgrade to add any websites to track.

Google Analytics, currently stalled, with no information forthcoming about why data is not being collected or reported. Newly added sites show they detect the codes, and waiting on data, but it does not show and the site does not issue any reports.
This flaw happens with GA about one per year, and it can last more than a month. Just look into the complaints about ‘no data’ and you will find many.

In my opinion a combination of Google Analytics and Mint is the perfect solution. GA for in-depth stats and Mint for real time traffic observation.

Which of the analytic tools would you choose over all the others? Ok…. I have 75 sites and climbing right now. Without going into each and every site, is there a way for me to add analytics to each of these sites?
