   I use Analytics but don’t visit the site to check stats instead have set up a daily summary email report that I read.

   Other than that mybloglog which is a part of the other services they provide.

   But My primary stats sites are reinvigorate.net and performancing.com they both are great and provide you with detailed as it happens analysis. So i just hop on these sites thrice a day and check my stats.

   This is an important post. Stumbled.
   One comment on 103bees: after 2 months all the important features get disabled. In this case Hittail is the preferred choice, as it is completely free (as far as i know).

3. Jennifer Jun 23rd, 2007 at 2:07 am

   I never heard of 103bees, but I use a program called HitTail Which is about the same from what I can tell. It doesn’t expire like Gili said 103bees does, so maybe you should check it out.

   Great post… I also use my server awstats for my analytics. It seems as through as Googles, so I got rid of them and the more code in my page.

4. Benedict Herold Jun 23rd, 2007 at 2:23 am

   Nice list. I have never heard of 103bees before.

5. Brown Baron Jun 23rd, 2007 at 11:02 am

   I use Analytics as well. For real time stat tracking, I use Reinvigorate and Snoop. The service is still in beta but you can apply and if you’re lucky, they’ll send you an invitiation. It’s at http://reinvigorate.net

6. Clara Jun 23rd, 2007 at 11:46 am

   I use Addfreestats which is free, of course.

7. JennyHow Jun 23rd, 2007 at 12:23 pm

   the Google analytics look pretty comprehensive from here. i’m using none of the listed But using pmetrics once in a while. wonder if that is considered as a statistic tool?

8. Ashish Saini (Ashfame) Jun 23rd, 2007 at 3:37 pm

   I use Google Analytics, I am happy to see my blog growing

9. Baxter Tocher Jun 23rd, 2007 at 3:44 pm

   I use Firestats:

   and Clicky:

10. Vinod Jun 23rd, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    Snoop is an addictive one too.

11. Pallab Jun 23rd, 2007 at 5:18 pm

    Another good new tool is Reinvigorate ( http://reinvigorate.net/ ).
    Proffesional bloggers may give Clicktracks ( http://www.clicktracks.com/ ) a try. But you need to pay to access most of the features.
    But I have noticed that both Google Analytics and Reinvigorate under report statistics.

12. Technobuzz.net Jun 23rd, 2007 at 5:36 pm

    I use Statcounter, and m happy with it

13. kanak Jun 23rd, 2007 at 5:50 pm

    I am using google analytics, mybloglog and wordpress stats plugin .. However I have a strong feeling that wordpress stats plugin is not up to the mark in providing correct data …Has anybody noticed it ??

14. Shankar Ganesh Jun 23rd, 2007 at 7:08 pm

    I’ve tried all of these but my favourites are StatCounter and Reinvigorate. The Snoop tool is great. As Vinod said, it’s addictive too.

    @Kanak: You’re right. The plugin is terribly inaccurate in providing stats. I noticed it and stopped using it.

15. Ashwin Jun 23rd, 2007 at 7:47 pm

    I use Google Analytics, 103Bees and WP stats. I was also a stats freak, then was able to control my addiction to stats.

16. Jayadrathsingh Jun 23rd, 2007 at 10:09 pm

    I use feedburner, mybloglog, google analytics, and bravenet. I think I am using more than enough for tracking my site:-p

17. ram Jun 24th, 2007 at 1:34 am

    Nice list. I use all of them except sitemeter. I also use crazyegg.
    stumbled

18. kuanhoong Jun 24th, 2007 at 3:48 am

    I am using Google Analytics, MyBloglog. Wordpress Syat and Statcounter.

    Hmm, I think I am over tracking my blog

19. Ramkarthik Jun 24th, 2007 at 8:16 am

    I use sitemeter and statcounter to double check everything. There is a tool which can show how many are online on your blog and what they are reading. It is called who.amung.us. I also use that. I saw it in Techcrunch and netbusinessblog. So I thought of using it myself.

20. Ashwin Jun 24th, 2007 at 1:16 pm

    Tried HitTail after some of the suggestions here, but then it almost performs the same function as 103Bees only that it shows all the search queries. Not a bad tool for which we pay nothing.

    I want to have some tool like who.amung.us but I prefer it to be private to me only. I’m not sure if that can be done.

21. Madhur Kapoor Jun 24th, 2007 at 6:55 pm

    Nice list Nirmal , I have used Analytics before but i prefer awstats , clean and simple ..

22. sindhu Jun 25th, 2007 at 2:52 am

    nothing better than google analytics!

23. Strategic Niche Articles Resources For Your Internet Marketing Business Jun 25th, 2007 at 9:04 am

    Hi there,

    I’m using HitCounter and GoogleAnalytics.

    Will check out 103bees!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Regards,
    Calvin Chin

24. nirmaltv Jun 25th, 2007 at 10:48 am

    Looks like there are plenty of options for checking stats. As many have mentioned about Hittail, will try it out.

    Thanks everyone for your comments and stumble.

25. Shashank Jun 25th, 2007 at 11:33 am

    Me too use Statcounter ..my love towards statcounter increased when they increase their log size for free.

26. ReviewSaurus Jun 25th, 2007 at 12:04 pm

    I use mint & Reinvigorate. I find both of them are good in each respect but mint needs more and more work, considering that it is a paid one.

27. Ken Xu Jun 25th, 2007 at 4:04 pm

    Mybloglog statistic is not good. It can’t represent the accurate data to my adsense clicks. When I see about 18 Clicks in my adsense report, MBL show 24 Clicks. I wonder how MBL recording the data…

28. nirmaltv Jun 25th, 2007 at 5:19 pm

    @Ken Xu,
    You are right, MyBlogLog statistics are wrong most of the times. They give contradictory reports with my Analytics and sitemeter.

29. abhishek bhatnagar Jun 25th, 2007 at 10:42 pm

    I use HitTail and google analytics…i must say hittail is really addictive.

30. ReviewSaurus Jun 25th, 2007 at 11:01 pm

    @ Ken : I use mybloglog for connecting with other bloggers. It is not the best stats tool

    @ Abhishek : Hittail seems to be good but try reinvigorate and you’ll fall in love with it!

31. LISTIKAL Jun 26th, 2007 at 6:35 am

    All good stat tools. For real-time stats, I really love Mint. Incredibly simple to use and check from anywhere. Also, very accurate.

32. Kyle Eslick Jun 26th, 2007 at 7:19 am

    Great discussion!

    I like to use server-side statistics like FireStats, but for the sake of this discussion I do use Site Meter for certain things, MyBlogLog for ad tracking, and Feedburner for a few things as well

33. Ayush Jun 28th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

34. DeeJay Jun 29th, 2007 at 5:59 am

    I use all the mentioned stats except 103bees.com .
    I’ll try them as you recommend.

35. Oznob43 Jul 1st, 2007 at 5:51 pm

    I’d heard of all of them except 103 Bees, but I only use sitemeter. I think I’ll sign up for google analytics soon, but I don’t understand why they need my phone number.

36. nirmaltv Jul 1st, 2007 at 10:10 pm

    @Ayush,
    Thanks for the features.

    @Oznob43,
    I think you should sign up with Google Analytics. They give you lot of options.

37. Oznob43 Jul 2nd, 2007 at 5:09 am

    Thanks for the advice, I probably will, but the phone number thing is still a little bit creepy in a way. I’ll just make one up but it seems weird that they’d even ask for it.

38. Oznob43 Jul 2nd, 2007 at 5:16 am

    Agh, I feel dumb now, the phone number isn’t a required field. Never mind.

39. nirmaltv Jul 2nd, 2007 at 9:25 am

    @Oznob43,
    Good that you finally registered and the phone number thing was really funny. I was thinking, I never gave my phone number when i registered for Analytics.

40. Aravind Mar 23rd, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    I’ve used Google Analytics for some of my other sites.
    But, didn’t installed it for my new blog.

    But, now i will install it. Inserting Google Tracking Code is extremely easy for a blog rather than a static web page as the code needs to be there in every page to be tracked.
    In WordPress, it’s just a matter of adding the code to the footer.php

    No doubt about the quality of service. It’s great and i feel, is the best…

    (wanted to give u a stumble, but, currently in Opera..will do that in FF & it’s high time we need a stumbleupon toolbar for Opera :P)

41. Dayo May 16th, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    I use GoogleAnalytics now. I’m visit reinvigorate site and they have interesting features. Thinking to use it but don’t know how to register there. Thank you for mention this.

42. op32 Jun 28th, 2008 at 4:00 am

    I use Logdy and I’m very happy with it.

43. Anurag Sep 20th, 2008 at 11:51 am
