Apart from google analytics what else do you use to track results? Anything that you would also recommend?
I use wordpress plugin- Statpress for all my wordpress blogs.. Its too easy to use, and statistics r available in wordpress admin area..
Almost good host providing traffic report some of them is good. Web Trent is good but its not better than Google analytic. THis two and some from godaddy i ma using. Among all google is better
Server Logs, It's the ultimate source of information and details.. However you need to know how to read it
I use StatCounter on some of my websites and I use Analytics too on other websites. It's all about your needs
any reason why you'd use statscounter on top of analytics? What data does it have that analytics doesn't?
Statcounter is in real time, and you can track individual visitors better. One thing I use a lot is the keyword stats that shows me what keywords are being used, what se it came from, and what page it went to. You can click on the keyword to see which page you rank on.
I use statcounter exclusively. It is just because I don't want my sites to be dependant 100% upon google. Google traffic, google money and even for tracking if I use Google, then may be it is high time to quit business and try to join Google.
