Clicky Web Analytics Review: Trendy, Juicy Stats Counter

Clicky Web Analytics is my favorite web analytics. I still like Google Analytics and Awstats and use them both, but Clicky provides the kind of information the other two do not. It is also the one that is accommodating the social media, making it the most trendy analytics, and it has a lot of advantages. 1. Real Time Data Clicky data is real time. This is the number one reason why I like this analytics over Google. 2. Intuitive Dashboard The dashboard is intuitively designed, and is customizable to fit your own needs, making it super easy to find the data you are looking for. 3. History and Segmentation multiple ways This is where it starts getting better for me. On Clicky, you can cut, slice and dice the data in many different segments. You can set the graph to display in today vs. yesterday, against 7 day average, or a custom date range. You can even choose a particular visitor and view their browsing history and page views. 4. Host and Organization Names Clicky shows host and organization names when available. Many companies have their own internet host, revealing their company names on the analytics. 5. Twitter Analytics Twitter Analytics tracks keywords on Twitter. Enter the keywords you want to track, and you can monitor the number of tweets, links, and hash tags. 6. Spy The “Spy” feature is a live view of visitors’ actions that refreshes on its own. You can view the incoming traffic and interactions in live. 7. WordPress Integration If you have a WordPress blog, you can use a Clicky WordPress plugin. This plugin will auto-tweet your blog entries, with shortened urls using their own clicky.me url shortner, allowing you to monitor the traffic referred by your tweet links. Other features include goals and campaigns, IP address labeling, and of course standard features such as traffic source, locale, entry/exit pages and outgoing links. The technical support is pretty responsive too, they usually respond within hours, not days. You can try the free plan, but some of the features mentioned above are only available on paid plans, starting at $4.99 per month. Check out the demo and sign up at getclicky.com.
