![]() The new article is titled, “How To Capitalize On Your Blog Statistics”. ![]() I now have a new post which describes what I’ve learned from comparing statistics and what questions we can ask ourselves based on what our stats are showing us. Please note: This article was written shortly after I started blogging and I was questioning the difference between Google Analytics, Webalizer and AwStats. This log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contain. Even though they do continue to give me different numbers, I like the fact they all give different features that prove to be great for analysis.Ĭheck the statistical programs you have in place. AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. UPDATE: I continue to keep all of my statistical programs in place. Hopefully I’m providing valuable information, as that’s my intention. A great blog doesn’t happen overnight, therefore, it appears perseverance and dedication to providing valuable content, are one of the keys to success in blogging.įor me, I’m very thankful for all of my readers who are returning and/or subscribing to my blog. UPDATE: My blog has continued to grow at a good pace.įrom many hours of research, I have found that the authors of many of the successful blogs, are in it for the long haul. Patience is paying off as I continue to post. My visitor counts are up approximately 50% from last month (my first month of blogging), so if that trend continues, six months from now, I should have a well visited site. I’ll compare Google Analytics to Awstats and Webalizer, as each statistic reporting service has features that I like, so I’ll leave all of them in place. Will I continue to use Google Analytics? Yes. I’ll watch for the trend, and hopefully continue to see an increase in my visitor counts. Will I get hung up on the actual numbers? No. I’ve also noticed that Google Analytics, Awstats and Webalizer are updated at different times of the day, which would make for a slight difference in the daily numbers. ![]() Upon researching why Google Analytics is reporting lower numbers, it could be that the reader has JavaScript, cookies and/or images disabled. In fact, they’re showing a lower number of visitors. What do I think of Google Analytics? I love all of the graphs and maps they provide, however, the numbers I’m receiving are different than Awstats and Webalizer. I’ve now had Google Analytics tracking my sites for a month seven months a year over two years now.
