Hi, I am about to lunch my very first site Right now I'm looking for advanced website traffic/stat tool. goggling, I have found too many of them and need a RECOMMENDATION for both FREE and COMMERCIAL program. Also, since I have never used one before please tell me what problems may I have with them? Any disadvantages of free tools? ads/spams etc.? So far I've been recommended http://extremetracking.com/ - any opinions? thank you in advance zxc
with free tools, you have to leave a visible link to the site on your site. I have used extreme tracking it is pretty good. It is as accurate as anything else. If you want an invisible one that is still free you can use google anylitics. Its good and its still free!
great, thx have you used free or commercial version of extreme tracking? as for google analytics I have to say that I dont necessary like the fact that google is collecting all this data from us, so this would be my last choice thanks again anybody else? zxc
I use statcounter It's a free invisible counter been using it for a few months seem to work great. The free version will log the first 100 visitors but it will still keep a running total of all the visitors. It's worth checking into. http://www.statcounter.com
If you want a really good free stats package, go with Statcounbter. However, you will need to pay a fee for extra otions. It is highly recommended though.
A ialso use the statcounter. i like to recomend it to. The link they give you is very little and there Website very userfriendly. Really cool tool
Hi, sorry for late response can you please explain this? also, are there any problems with them? I don't know, like spyware, adware etc.? zxc
Hi, I'm also use a StatCounter, it is really great and easy. I think that he want to say following Log-Size Pageloads/Month Price/Month 100 250,000 FREE 1,000 1,500,000 $9 10,000 7,500,000 $19 25,000 15,000,000 $29
For a free one I recommend http://www.activemeter.com You do not have to add a visible counter to your site. For a trendy commercial one, check out the 'Visitorville' link in my sig.
I'm happy with http://www.statcounter.com/ . I use it to track several different web sites. The log limit of 100 entries is fine for me. If I ever need a log size larger than 100 I figure I'll be making enough money to upgrade. (hopefully! hehe)
Never tried Statcounter but Google Analytics works GREAT for me and it's free. Definitely going to check out statcounter, though. Thanks for the link!
I use add free stats. its the best so far and a small icon u add on ya page on the bottom. www.addfreestats.com
I use activemeter and awstats. Active meters free version claims to only allow 200,000 impressions a month but I've passed that a while ago so I'm happy with it.
I use Google Analytics. It is excelent tool and they are still improving. Only one problem that is impossible to show stat straight on your pages. There are some unofficial API for that but not very good.
Google Analytics... I've used almost all the free stuff... Webalizer, AwStats, etc... Google Analytics, which is basically Urchin in a highly improved version, can track just about anything... It has given me such insight as to what my users do, where the go, what kinda connections they have, where in the world they are... Aside from WebTrends which I hear is still top dawg Google ranks #2, give it a few more months of good development and WebTrends will be a thing of the past...
