Hey guys i have been using both Google analytics as well as stat counter in checking the traffic figures for my blog.
I observed that stat counter gives innate details about where your blog has been viewed from, for how long and even how many times.
But i have heard a lot of members say that google analytics is the best.
But both dont seem to be giving the same number of stats. Anyone has any idea why ?
That is because their software were designed like that. :wink:
Which site do you use to track your site stats nick.Quote:

I have heard this first time i would research on it and give response to this.
what does the google analytic really do? I heard that it would help a website/blog to increase their page ranks as well as also tracking the visitors! I like to know in details about it.
well in my opinion Google Analytics is much better than stats counter. I have used it in many sites and quite satisfied with the results provided by them. :)
google analytic only a stat counter? Then it has nothing o do with website analysis!
i use several codes to track the traffic of my blog,one is feedfit.
Well I am using google analytics, and its working good and fine.
Google Analytic is more Flexible and more good in my eyes, plus it's provided by the most great company i worked with ever :) stats websites are good also, but i prefer the ones which bring traffic to me , not just give me a stats :)
before i used it for some days but i finally gave it up because i cound not understand the datas there.Quote:

I am using Google analytics. I have never seen any beautiful site similar to this one. Very rich features. I am using it for my website. It gives accurate results with reports and also graphical representation of all reports. You can do anything you like there.Quote:

yeah, this gives very good result for countries also and I think city also. Try using this tool from Google you will love it.Quote:

of course it can target city as well,but if the visitors use proxy then it is hard to know it unless it can privide IP address.Quote:

The other feature I love in Google is the goal setting....
thanks for your info about this.Quote:

yeah right.. I have also seen this feature but never used it. I think this must be relating to setting goal for the traffic or the coverage of all regions of the world to access the site.Quote:

Yeah I did.. used it to calculate how many people are getting to my downloads page through the 'enter your email and name' script.
This is a nice tool to know which all are the places where a visitor abandon the site.. usually happens when a visitor does not want to enter the required information or the page is too difficult to use.
