A few weeks ago I was doing some research on web analytics tools. On the search for a open source alternative to the commercial web analytics packages I came across Piwik, which is the successor of PHPmyVisites. » Read the rest of the entry..
Category: web analytics
On this website I am currently using two different webanalytics tools. Of course, I use Googles Analytics and I really like the new layout, which gives you a good overview. I read about reinvigorate, a webanalytics tool which is still in beta, on webanalyticsbook.com (why the hell is a search missing on that blog? I had to use Google to find the post about reinvigorate).
I am still testing this new tool and its only 12 days now, but so far I really like it. It is simple and easy to use and the graphs and the display of the figures are nice. I guess for now I will keep both, Google Analytics and Reinvigorate (we will see what happens when Reinvigorate comes out of beta)
Once I have a little more data I might put a few screen shots on this website to show you how Reinvigorate works and displays the data.
Today when I logged into my Google Analytics account I was informed that Google within the next month all Google Account will be updated.
The tour provided by Google looks very promising and interesting. Google Analytics was always a very interesting Tool for web analytics, but this new interface and the new statistics seem to be a huge step ahead (as far as I could see in the tour).
Unfortunately I still have the old interface, but I am really looking forward to make first tests. You will be able to create your own personalized dashboard, with the statistics and figure you want to see on first glimpse. This will accelerate the daily analysis of your web site traffic. The definition of time slots also seems to be improved.
A very interesting features is the so called “site overlay”: it will allow you to see certain information directly on your website, like how many visitors clicked on which link, etc.
Once I have access to the new interface I will give you a better overview.
Welcome on my little website. I hope the published information might be of value for some of you. If you have a question regarding one of the issues discussed here, feel free to comment or write me an email. I will try to answer as early as possible. Have fun!
