Open to either option at this point.

 

Do you have a budget?

For low-$ in the $150-$600/mo. range, check out ClickTracks, Urchin and NetTracker. These products all scale to the volume you are predicting, and come in both logfile and/or page-tag (ASP) versions.

Higher-end products like Omniture, Coremetrics, SiteClarity (Harvest Solutions), HitBox, SurfAid, etc. will give you much deeper information and flexibility, PPC bid manamgenet, etc., but at a much higher price (read: $1000's per month.)

p.s. my original interest in this thread, which was "what analytics products are people using", appears to have been answered: not many people here are using analytics...?

 

I think it's just that this subject comes up at least once a month.

I bought ClickTracks (non-hosted). It's a waste of $$- IMO.

 

Really?!? I found the results were no where near detailed enough. Might just have used awstats (imo)

Urchin is great - I'm just not keen on giving Google even more data about my sites...

No, no budget. We'll get what's best for the business regardless of cost. I had not heard of SiteClarity - thanks for that info - I will add that to my list of ones to review.

 

FWIW, SiteClarity is the new name for Harvest Solutions' analytics tool... Harvest was just acquired by CheetahMail, so they renamed the product. One of SiteClarity's key features is the ability to do multi-property analytics ... i.e. grouping analytics by multiple sites (url's, subdomains or sections within a site.)

And if you haven't checked out SurfAid (IBM), I'd suggest that one too. Very nice product.

That will be key - thanks for all the info you've provided. it's been very helpful.

 

I second that. Sawmill.net (flowerfire.com) is a great program and if you beta test the software, you can get it at no charge.

 

$199 per month cheap? Do I miss something? thank you

 

Yes, you miss something. (post #9)
