I knw I might be asking very much...however, is there any other website analytic tools except google analytics.. which is free and has more detailed information then it...I tried to find out but no use...can anyone help???
Yes! as a matter of fact, this exists since December 2009. It's called footprintlive.com - I can't post the url but its located at www[.]footprintlive[.]com Footprint shows you detailed live visitor reports For every visitor you can look at their clickpath through your site and see their visitor profile. The Profile includes their referrer, search engine, search term, city, location and IP address. And its free.
Out of curiosity what kind of statistics are you trying to get that you can't get with Google Analytics?
i need to know the exact path of the visitor...tht is if the visitor is cming from google.. then his ip, location, what keyword he searched and which page he go to .. n GA doesn't provide this ..i guess..
What you describe is provide by both footprintlive and opentracker[.]net, among other solutions, there is also visitorville individual user profile: referrer search engine search term IP address company This is provided along with clickstream reporting, which means that you can drill-down into any user's clickpath and see the clicks that they made. It's also in real-time. Basically, these solutions do what google analytics does not; 1. show real-time stats, 2. let you see individual visitor clickpaths, and 3. show detailed visitor profiles; search term, referrer, IP address, etc.
thanks a lot buddy... will try both, but i use wordpress and I guess footprintlive doesnt support it..coz I dont have option to put the code in the body ...
here are instructions for using footprint with wordpress: Place the javascript in the footer section. There is an option for "Theme Editor". Once that is clicked, there are a number of files on the right hand side that make up the current word press theme that is used. Those can be edited and they do reveal the HTML and PHP code. One of them is called "Footer" and where the code should be inserted.
There is a nice plugin for Wordpress called Surf Your Stats or Surf Stats or something like that. Very easy to install and use. What I like about it is that it gives you instantly updated information (I tested this). No need to wait til the next day to see your stats. I use both it and Google Analytics for a complete picture.
Google Analytics is one of the most precise visitor tracking tool available for free. Other free tools might not be as good as Google Analytics. Of course there are many more tools available out there which provide great deal of detail, but are very pricey. One such software is Urchin - google.com/urchin/features.html
