Thread: How to track your blog visitors?

Do you have any idea how to track your blog visitors?

As for me I prefer using Sitemeter.com and Statcounter.com how about you?

Im an analytics fan some sites i have to use this to get the reports for the site owners this way i cna have all my sites in one tracking tool but im saying its the best.

I use google analytics to track my visitors in my site and if you use wordpress, I would recommend that you also use the statpress plug-in which can detect your visitors ip address and the keyword that have been use to locate your site.

I have no idea about statpress but I am glad to know that their is some plug in wherein I can detect my visitor ip adress.. By the way can this plug in works like widgit and also another thing is this ok to install in blogger blogs?

I use google analytics

I use google analytics, although it is not realtime.

I use google analatics and awstats

google analytics is powerful enough already.. it can show you lots of information to track your visitors...

You can also used statcounter. It is accurate in tracking your visitors

Using GA or other related softwares such as support suite and etc...I think they can work
very well.Try it.

using sitemeter or google analityc also can track the visitors.

well, google analytics is not accurate,it only getrs less than 20% of your actual traffic

Hi,

I use this on all my wordpress site. I like it a lot.

I am using Statcounter and Google Analytics.

There are many tracker provider online for free, you can try
Analog, Webalizer, histats, 24counter, and more.

I like whos.amung.us much more.

Try it all and you will find one is suit for your blog.

I use AWStats. It's built into the server and analyzes the log files for each site.

I use a custom script I wrote myself, it is easy for me to track, manage and analyse the way I want. I use Google Analytics once in a while but it is not very fine-grained and reliable.

I also use AWstats.

Does it track visitors via code placed on the site itself, or does it analyze and process log files?

Actually it does both. Because I have quite a number of sites, it makes aggregating and analysing both Apache and my custom logs very easy.

Hi,

That sound like you had quit a project to code that.

Actually it's not, I have been working on it on and off since my University days, so I would say the bulk part of the coding was done years ago. I would say it is very stable now and it does the job.

Problem with me is that I like reinventing wheels just to show that I can do the same thing my own way. Otherwise, there are countless other tools out there I could have used.

I think it's the hacker in me

I use google analytics and the dashboard stats for wordpress. I also use quancast and check that once a week because it tracks demographics.

^ Another is, it will give you valuable data about your visitors.

You can trace your visitors from geographically, via a search engine and which keywords they used and referrals by another website.

I prefer using Google Analytics, StatCounter.

I use google analytics

Usually i use Google Analytics, to track my blog. It is good and user friendly too, one doesn't have to be a webmaster to handle it. just login with your account and install code/script in your blog or website.

I use statcounter.com even though I have discovered there are a few errors in the results.
I also have a Google analytics account which I use to see the best keywords from my website.

I use google analytics to track my visitors and I think is really good.

Google analytics is the far most used one.

I know that everyone who is on MySpace has had the same burning questions that I've had. How can I see who has viewed my MySpace profile? Where can I find a MySpace Tracker? Since MySpace has become so popular, so have the MySpace profile stalkers. Could be your friends, neighbors, ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, or even someone you don't even know. We are fortunate enough to have the technology for 3rd party websites to provide the code to allow you to see who visits your

Typepad.com and many other hosting companies automatically track for you, but you can also add the html code for hittal.com to find out exactly where your traffic is coming from.

GA is probably the best way to track your site stats. However I find GA quite laggy and prefer to use StatCounter because it shows you what you need to know straight away unlike GA where you have to wait ages for it to bloody load and click to get what you want. Okay bit exagerated but I use both as well as Webmaster Tools obviously.

Analytics i the best choice! but I need something for show stadistics online? some one can help me
