Mint plus a basic homebrew PHP script to catch the sneaky people with JavaScript disabled.

google analytics and good ol' wordpress stats plugin.

Is mint good? I use google analytics right now...

I use Google Analytics and Clicky.

I use the Wordpress Dashboard Blog Stats for up-to-the-minute results, and Google Analytics (With the Wordpress plugin) for overviews.

I check the AWStats pages every morning too.

Mint here too with some peppers! I recommend mint but keep in mind that more peppers installed means more javascript code to be run which leads to more time for page load.

I'm not into THAT much statistic....but i find avstat great even if my current server
(mediatemple) is using Urchin wich i don't like so much.

If ya use wordpress could use Counterize II pluging, it's awesome and well detailed ^^ (Super especially if you have multiple sites/blogs on same domain~)

I use Google Analytics for trend watching and stuff, but use AWstats to track micro issues... like seeing "closer to the logs" issues.

MINT

Mint, definitely! However, I like knowing my stats as they happen. I also like having Mint installed because I can expand it with its peppers, unlike services that are not self-hosted.

I use Wordpress Stats and Google Analytics.

google analytics

Mint... that's all.

I've been using WebTrends 5.5 for ages. It's still good enough to get a traffic overview though.

Other than that, I like using HitTail for inspiration and keeping track of keywords.

google analytics, feed burner, and blog rush

I use Mint, and I realize that some people might be blocking the JavaScript. However, it's consistency, patterns, and trends I'm looking for. Actual numbers are a secondary concern.

I'm using Google Analytics: very accurate and easy to set up.

I've been using a Reinvigorate and Mint combination, but I'm thinking of just dropping Mint. Reinvigorate is great.

I've been using Google Analytics for a little while now and it seems to be working out nicely. It gives fairly in-depth stats for something I currently pay $0 for.

I use Clicky across a number of sites, and I love it for blogs. And as of tomorrow, Clicky gets better...

Alexa and Google traffic measurements are still really embedded in 'Web 1.0' thinking - one needs new tools and measures for the new way content is absorbed and used online. I personally find stats like the number of actions taken on a site, and the length of time, along with the average number of actions, is a far more significant metric - but many measurement toosl just don't provide the useful data you can use to improve design, architecture or content, or to find out where you are losing people's attention.

Actionable Stats 2.0 from Clicky

Although I use Google Analytics and Statcounter, for most content, the most useful data that I can act on comes by using Clicky, which is due to have some major enhancements added from the 19th of January. As you can see in the example here, one is able to drill down to compare, for example, time spent by those visiting from the UK as against to the US (one can select country, language, browser city, link, search engine or other parameters) , and see that you're catering fine for US customers, but UK visitors lose interest too fast. The 'actions per visit' is an important measure for sites using Ajax / tab interfaces, and for most blog-based sites.

Clicky has a free 21-day trial for its premium service, and has a free service for up to 3 web sites and 1,000 daily page views per day per site. Try Clicky out for three weeks and see what you can do to improve your web site. (Disclosure: That's an affiliate link - every Clicky customer is automatically an affiliate to share the lurve, but clicky is very good value).

The service also has a developer API for the serious geeks to get their teeth into, and a white label version so that, for example, web developers can sell the service to their customers under their own branding.

I'm currently trying out google analytics

I started out using Mint because I love its design, then I signed up to Google Analytics because I find it easier to observe trends there. The new interface is much improved, and the dashboard seems to have taken an idea or two from Mint.

Later I decided to ditch Mint because I couldn't reconcile the different numbers reported by Mint and G.A. to my satisfaction. I've been using just G.A. for about a year.

I'd be a liar though if I said I didn't find the iPhone Pepper sorely tempting - a return to Mint isn't ruled out!

I use Googles and AW Stats both. I have webalizer as well, but rarely use it.

I use Google Analytics. I've tried others and nothing is as comprehensive and easy to use.

Most recently I've used Webalizer and GA. Although now I'm using Go Daddy's Traffic Facts (because I work for them). The things I like about using Traffic Facts are A) There isn't any advertising B) It's fast. I whole heartedly recommend paying for services to avoid the ads!

Awstats & Webalizer both through Cpanel.

Mike's post on the previous page is so true. Awstats really does return much higher numbers, so I rely mainly on the webalizer.

Google Analytics and reinvigorate.net

Reinvigorate.net analytic tools is very promising.

I use Mint. :)
