With the differences between analytic packages in mind, here are some other ways that you can
crunch the numbers coming in from your site:
(http://getclicky.com): Clicky, as shown in Figure 12-23, displays your trafc numbers in
lightweight overviews. They also provide some real-time data via their “Spy” tab, showing you how
visitors interact with your site at a given moment. Clicky also supports tracking interactive Ajax
or Flash applications, and visualizes data using such approaches as Google Maps mashups or tag
clouds.
(http://statcounter.com): The free StatCounter service, as shown in Figure 12-24,
is a bit more of an “old-school” trafc tracker. After registering and inserting a piece of code from
them in your blog or other web site, you’ll be able to nd out about such things as popular pages,
exit pages, keyword analysis, visitor paths, browser usage stats and more. Note that you can decide
whether you want the StatCounter tracker widget to be invisible on your site.
(http://sitemeter.com): Similar to StatCounter, Site Meter breaks up the different trafc
aspects in a lefthand navigation and then visualizes numbers to the righthand content area. The
default view is shown in Figure 12-25. The site is ad-supported, like other statistic services, so you’ll
be seeing banner animations ...
