Hi Magnusg,

Thank you for stopping by and letting me know about Wassup.

Another great one to check out is Woopra. I’ve been using it since it was in beta and enjoy the real time features. They have both free and paid options. Like you, I enjoy the real time feature, but try not to spend too much time watching. I agree, it can be addictive.

Hi,
Thanks for writting a great post. I surfed the web looking for alternatives to Google Analytics. I also use Awstats and Wassup. Google give me different stats, so after reading your post (also the first one who linked to this), I installed Sitemeter. At present I got a popular post bringing in clics from a major newspaper. Sitemeter´s free version seems to corespond with the stats I`m getting from Wassup.Clicks, ip-adresse etc. If you read this and have not heard of Wassup; great tool for realtine stats. Only problem is that is a bit addictive..Awstas are not showing fresh results until next evening, so I´ll have to wait and se what it says. Hopefully it will agree with Wassup.

Anyway..thats what I use. Hope that Google are a day delayed or someting, or else they are missing a huge amount om my blog trafic.

Regards
Magnusg

Hi Barbara .. your posts are always so interesting and it’s so useful to see everyone’s comments. I enjoyed this and have printed pages 1 & 2 out – as that’s the way I work, and made some notes from the comments.

A bit late – but gathering knowledge is part of the process!

[...] we measure the success of our blog? a) By the number of comments we receive on a post? b) By the number of visits, page views, our bounce rate, number of subscribers and/or our earnings (if we advertise)? c) Or, do none of the numbers matter [...]

For most pracatical reasons, either Google Analytics or sitemeter will be an appropriate solution. Awstats and webalizer are probably good enough only to understand how much of raw hits (visits, pings, bots) a site receives.

Google analytics makes it easier to analyze the realistic visits that we receive and it’s even logically grouped into referral, direct, keywords, search traffic categories. They are also pretty much up to date when new search engines are introduced. And all this without much performance issues – Awstats probably consumes time at the server where as the javascript based analytics is client based without taking any toll on the server.
