Website analytics

bm1125 asked 4 years ago
Does anyone know a good web analytics service something that is like google analytics. It is just that I have many problems with their service and seems like i can not get any help from google.

I don’t mind paying for analytics as long as I have good support.

Thanks

Subscribed. Also curious what the problems are. GA is usually pretty reliable.

As for other services, Omniture (acquired by Adobe) has good reviews, but it might be overkil depending on what you need

What problems are you having with GA?

I just dont like Google analytics. Been a long time since I tried it but I found wasnt user friendly, intuitive, and most of all not in real time!

Why give Google so much information about your site?

Call me paranoid but why give any 3’rd parties access to this data?

Is there a php script (sold or gpl) I can install on my server to provide similar stats as GA or Piwik?

For instance, the GPWA is using MozScape (by seomoz) to track the stats etc of all their member sites.

Seomoz collects data like GA but makes this available to competitors at a price.

While I don’t know for sure but seeing the GPWA doesn’t have an issue selling its members out for a buck, my guess is the only reason they’re using MozScape (powered by seomoz), they’ve done a deal and are likely getting a financial kick backs for this data. Milking their members for what they can get.

Sadly this is a such a typical GPWA thing to do; selling members out for a buck!

I’m using Piwik on some of my sites. You can block your IP and is great alternative if you don’t want your data to be collected by GA even if it’s tough to set it up correctly

And don’t forget the SEO team <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

You can block your own ip-adress in GA. Just go to the section above in the right ‘Manage’ and make a filter. Here you can setup all kind of IP exclusions.

Mint: A Fresh Look at your Site is a cheerful little script.. cheap too.. works great.

I dont think google anal-ytics is much good either. I dont think it tracks all hits, it is not in real time, I cant find where u block your own IP.. if that is possible.

I looked into analytics a while back and always meant to have a look at this Open Web Analytics but never got round to it.. It seemed the best one out there in comparrison to GA from what I could gather.

What did you end up using outside of google analytics? Or are you still looking?
