    Hello everyone,

    Could you give me the paths to how can I get specific info about each customer. I currently use GA. I specified the goals and can now see specific information. But I would like to know for each visitor who bought something at my site follow information:
    1- Where did the buyer come from (reference or SE. Il reference –see a link, if SE -keyswords)?
    2- His itinerary on my site. (entered page, visited pages before checkout, etc)
    3- If the buyer is not for the first time on the site, the same related information of his previous visits (if it possible, with dates).
    I would like else, if it is possible, to separate my visitors on different groups (f.e. Buyer, visitors how stops the checkout, visitor how never put anything in the basket) and have different statistic reports for each group.

    So my question is if somebody knows how to solve this problem. Maybe you know the existing ready solutions? Or traffic counter where I can find this info.

    Thank you,
    Daniel.

    You could try Woopra... It's free (still in Beta) and tracks your visitors in real time. You can just sit back and see where the come from where they go (on your site, and outbound) and you can even chat with your visitors. A small chat window will appear in the bottom right corner...

    It's pretty cool, very fast and real time. Nice to see what's happening on your site as the visitors browse through it. Not goog for conversion tracking though. It doesn;t offer a lot of feature for that, but clever parameter use can solve this!

    Upon reading the title of this thread, I was immediately going to suggest Woopra... but you beat me to it :)

    Woopra is awesome; I love it; except for the fact that at times, the page would never finish loading -- it would get stuck at "transferring data from Woopra". People have said that it is because Woopra's servers were down at times.
    Well, it happened far too often for me, so I stopped using it. I might try it out again in the future. I just can't have a website where the pages stop loading.

    Hence the reason to always make sure you put your tracking code right at the bottom of the page - even Google's Analytics server (farm?) has been know to go on the blink before!

    I did. I'm not new to this.

    The quirk is that the browser continues to say "loading" and not "done" on the bottom, and users claimed that some web elements were not accessible without the page completely loaded.

    Woopra's servers went down at least 3 times per week (and that's only the times I noticed). It was way too often; nowhere near as infrequent as Google AdSense's.

    Regardless of how it affects the website, who wants to use an unstable script?

    Haven't noticed any problems.

    Is it true though that Woopra stops tracking a soon as you close the software?? I see dips in my graphs, but have had it running all day actually!
