Re: G Analytics take foooorever!

Does anyone else have any experience with Submit Express? I am open to new ideas/services, but I would assume ask the experts here before I dedicate any amount of effort. Thanks!

I know the company from meeting them at SES conventions, but I've never worked with them at a business level.

What service of that company are you asking about .. if it is "search engine submission" service, I do not recommend it....Do it yourself....

Thanks

Re: G Analytics take foooorever!

it just takes a day and in my opinion its okay , i used to use statcounter before, it displays stats 'as they happen' but you gotta pay to store details of more than 500 visitors!..don't think that's a good deal,i guess google is doing this so that it displays a full day's stats at once instead of it changing throughout the day, it's just 24 hours old only anyway...

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.
"JavaScript, it only tracks real user" But it can not track real user who disabled "Java Script" on their browser..

Plus Google analytic is not real time..

Thanks

I agree. The reason it appears to show lower numbers is because it shows actual, real visitors. Other scripts like webalizer or WP Slimstat will show any requests to your web server. If you're getting crawled by search engines, that can be a lot of hits/visits that really don't exist.

There's a chance it under-reports because people have javascript turned off, or bounce away from the page before it loads... but for the most part I find it far more reliable than other scripts. I love it.

I'd rather know how many people are coming to my site than revel in the number of search engine spiders I can entertain... =)
