Whether you’re running a small blog or a large online business you probably want to know who your visitors are but also get a great deal. There is a range of companies suited for different users that allow you to view your statistics.
Statcounter.com is a website that offers a free edition which comes with a limit of how many users you can log at a time 100. There is also a variety of paid subscription choices which range from 9 a month for 1500 users to 49 a month for 100000 users. Even the free edition is handy in that it breaks down the statistics in a number of ways including graphs of daily page loads recent visitor activity visit lengths country and state of origin browser and unique pageloads for each visitor. It goes much more in depth and the counter that can be added to your website can be made invisible even in the free edition.
Google Analytics google.com/analytics is also free to site owners and while it does track site visitors it is more oriented towards tracking visit revenue especially is your website contains AdSense. It has features such as Geotargeting which shows where visitors are coming from a trend and date slider that allow you to zoom in on daily or monthly visit trends and can be used regardless of the size of your website.
Vendio vendio.com combines sales analytics with visitor counting in the number of services it offers both free and paid. Its free counters offer more than 100 styles that can be used either for EBay auctions or regular webpages with the option to upgrade to pro which included hourly hit reports and daily hit reports. Other services offered by the site include image hosting the ability to build a store and other algorithms pertinent to small online store owners.
No matter what service you use it is important not to get too caught up in the minutebyminute breakdown of site visitors and to make sure to look at the longterm picture.
