I much prefer awstats to webalizer although I guess its just what you are used to using.

Nice post! I prefer this stat tool. A great equivalent to Google Analytics

I think your idea for comparing all the statistics tools is a great one!

I imagine you have a decent amount of stats saved up in each of them by now. When do you think you might do the review? I’ll keep an eye on my WordPress dashboard for it….

Organic traffic through the longtail

One of my goals is to obtain 100 uniques per day through organic traffic to this blog. I plan to do this by using gaining traffic through SEs via longtail keywords.
So, what is the longtail? Long tail keywords are keywords that make up a short phrase. …

I’d like to add a caveat to all the rave reviews. If your blog URL includes an underline or other non-standard characters (_,~, etc.) this plugin will not work. I have written to the author about the problem as have others. I don’t believe it’s been fixed yet though someone can correct me if I’m wrong. This seems like it should be a simple problem to fix but then again I’m not a coder.

Also, when I installed the plugin it somehow turned off the 3rd party stat counter I was using.

You will find that GoStats has a rich feature set and is a mature system. Something to note is: GoStats is made by people who make only stats, while WP-stats is made by people who mainly do blogging.

i use WP-shortstat, and haven’t had any problems with it. i like that it is self-contained (no external dependencies), and haven’t seen that referrer issue you are talking about.

but i’m definitely interested in finding out more about the different stats plugins, both internal or external.

the only annoying thing about this plugin is that you have to go to wordpress.com to get the stats. it would be much “cleaner” if they would be integrated to the dashboard on the server. maybe in a future release.

Keith, I omitted Firestats and Shortstat since they are wordpress plugins, or hosted on the same server. To keep things level, I set out to compare the external tools, mostly those that ask one to include some js code to add tracking for a site.

So what do you like about firestats? Shortstat was annoying since more than half the referrers are from the same domain as the site!

You also don’t have Firestats on your list for some reason. It’s free and it’s pretty good.

In a flush of inspiration due to this new stats tracker from Automattic, I wanted to blog on it, but I thought I should also mention some of the other stats tracking packages I use, so I mentioned a few others. I also linked to this post as a useful review of Andy Skelton’s release. If you’re interested, check it out here:
