I'm thinking of making a traffic analytics styled tool similar to AwStats or Google Analytics. I realize that there's no point trying to compete with the big boys if you don't offer anything unique so that's exactly what I'm looking for: something unique. DP members are probably the perfect people to ask about this topic as I'm sure a lot of you use one analytics script or another. My question to you is: What would you like to see in an analytics software which is not currently offered in AwStats or Google Analytics? Do you think it would be good to make an analytics script which integrates your adsense or affiliate stats into the traffic stats?
Hi this week i have moved my websites to a cluster server environment from a single server, i was using awstats, but now thats not an option as i have no sinlge log file to build the stats. a tool to help with this would be cool.
well what I'd like to see is be fast to load, faster then google analytics which is at times slow. Also make it so that you can tell the full referring url (google only shows the domain). And how about detecting the users settings through an image, like if they don't have javascript show a tiny invisible image which is really a php file that records the users stats like ip, country, etc and spits out a transparent gif so its invisible. Make it adfree, so ads only show to the admins logging in and not on the site itself. Also maybe show all the sites using your stats it will help get some seo for yourself as well as those using your service.
