I dont like the idea of using Google analytics

    hello
    I have been using G analytics, but i feel like my privacy is being invaded. Also, it is not very user-friendly, and it takes a long time to find something. for example, i could never figure out how to find visitors' ip addresses. other problems too. it just sucks becuase it gives a lot of statistics that i dont understand or care about. so is there anything that is better, more user friendly?

    but if you want to sell your website someday, G analytics data can help a lot.

    Google Analytics is a pretty user-friendly application for me. Provides the data which I need to know. It may be true that it gives a lot of statistics that you may find you don't care about, but I believe that for others, that same date can prove to be useful.

    If you've got quite a small website, and you just want to extract a few top-line metrics, you may find statcounter suits your purpose. (and it does provide IP addresses)

    Google Analytics is a huge FREE tool for me.

    I can check which of my marketing campaigns work and which don't.

    I can check if a particular traffic method worked for me or not by going to 'Traffic Sources' in Google Analytics. It helps in making decisions and selecting which method to pursue further!

    How is your privacy being invaded? I don't get that.

    Google Analytics is good web analytical tool. That statistics you don't understand. it is not the valid reason that you don't like Google Analytics. The statistics you don't understand ask in forum or Read Google Analytics Help blog.

    I think you are not familiar with them now. I like G analytics, it help me know more detail information of the visitors

    Google analytic is a powerful tool but some times it returns nothing anyway for seo persons it is very useful. As I am optimizing registered-domains.com website usually I use G analytics to analyze my work.

    Google Analytic is very user friendly tool for analyze your website. I feel comfort to myself with GA in comparison of others like AWstats, statcounter, woopra.com etc.
