I agree, do you know of any other great tracking sites other than google analytics.

I do like the analytics though because its no indept, once it loads its easy to navigate through and understand.

We use it to track our sites now, so hopefully they can make it better rather than it going downhill!

Also the data is not reliable what I observed, best to look the stats through your control panel- Awstats & Analog.

Hmm interesting I will have to look into another option for tracking my websites. Thanks for the tips!!

I agree,

cscgal,

I tried Google analytics a couple times and I got disappointed by seeing inaccurate results...
I compared the results with the stats of server logs..Google analytics shows way lower number...
It may be related to loading the Google script while loading the page........

Yes I agree with you on Analytics being slow .........

What would you say is a better yet comparable sustitute?

There are bunch of application out there can read your server log files to show your stats.. Almost all Unix servers comes with one or two of them.. If you do not like how they look, you can try some paid tools...

I find that Google Analytics data is MORE reliable than server logs because, since it's initiated with JavaScript, it only tracks real users and not any of the bots or spiders.

Why not try the Submit Express on which you can track the traffics and keywords for your site.
