Clicky: Track Your Site’s Stats
Tracking website statistics is a whole cottage industry on the web with offerings from big players like Google’s Analytics, to smaller, self-hosted solutions like Mint or the old standby Analog. Clicky is a new service that offers hosted stats tracking with a nice web interface to help you figure out what it all means.
It’s tough to enter a market that Google is already in, but for those of you who love Analytics, Clicky still might have a few features even Analytics doesn’t offer. For one thing, though it’s nowhere near live, Clicky updates far more frequently than Analytics. And Clicky is promising a new service that will be live; Clicky claims the new service will be much like Digg Spy, but personalized for your site.
Clicky offers all the standard features of site tracking services such as a list of IP addresses, type of browser, user operating system, unique visitors, total page hits and more.
Clicky offers the ability to track users individually and see how they got to your site, what pages they viewed and what content appealed to which users. You can also track custom data, for instance, if your site has user accounts, you can see who logged in and what pages they clicked.
The Clicky dashboard is easy to read and fully customizable, it even allows you to disregard IP specific addresses so your own clicks won’t show up in your site data.
Clicky may not meet the needs of large high traffic sites, but small site owners looking to track traffic may find it does the job well.
