Feeding the stats addiction
I got my Google Analytics invite this morning. I had some free time today to work so I decided to integrate Google Analytics and FeedBurner with my site. Don't ask my why I waited so long to do it 
I decided to finally use these services because I am a stats addict. I check my stats at least once a day. I track referrals the most. I should mention, by the way, that I just jumped about 1,620 spots on Technorati's ranking since yesterday… but that's not important. What is important is that this plugin by Joe Tan provides stats reports for Google Analytics and FeedBurner. It might become my favorite plugin.
It looks like Google Analytics provides all the information I need, and now I just have to wait for the data to come in. I used Steve Smith's Wordpress FeedBurner Plugin to redirect my Wordpress feed through FeedBurner, so subscribers should be able to use my feed without updating the address. I've also used FeedBurners wonderful options to put my feed under a Creative Commons license, which states that my content may only be used for non-commercial work, it may not be modified, and attribution must be given. I also used FeedBurner to splice my del.icio.us links into my feed, so subscribers should now get a daily digest of all my links in the feed. If anyone would actually prefer getting my feed without the daily links, or maybe even getting a feed of a single category, please do let me know, and I will offer that option. Otherwise I'll just offer this complete feed.
I'll most likely display the FeedBurner badge when the data is aggregated, because those things are oh-so-cool. Then I will be able to wield the power of peer pressure to coerce visitors into subscribing 
I should mention that I am also using Google Analytics for Liquid Designs, and I will probably use FeedBurner for it too.
Got my Analytics invite 2 weeks ago took a while too (registered for it in January) some slick stat info you get there. For a free product it's got quite good features like the content optimization … I check it everyday like emails lol.
I tried GA for a bit but ultimately decided that Mint did it's job well enough that two trackers was overkill. There is one tracker that I am using (currently in beta atm). There was a whole bunch of hoopla a few months back concerning search traffic coming out of Redmond, WA. Understandably, Redmond is not a giant MS Campus, but the stats showed that a very small percentage - under 10% I believe - actually used MSN search.
Anyhow, I someone got into that beta tracking service. I've been popping gummi bears while tracking where exactly searches are originating from (zip, area code, etc). I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I'm getting a kick out of the results.
Not surprisingly, about 60% of my MySpace driven traffic originates from SoCal.
I would be interested in trying that stats service, whenever it becomes available. I have a stats plugin in Wordpress which is not much better than looking at raw logs, and my host provides Analog for all domains, so I actually have 3 programs right now… unfortunately Google Analytics is the only half decent one. I would love to use Mint, but I can't afford it right now
Google is handing out heaps of invites at the moment. I just got mine last week and am having great fun checking my statistics at almost every opportunity.
I just got some data a few minutes ago and it's decent… just waiting to actually get 24 hours worth of stats to look at!
I got my invite a few days ago and immediately put it on two of my sites - one my blog, and one a more non-bloggy site. It's interesting comparing things like browsers between the two (blog 50%IE; non-blog 89.74%IE) (I wish there was an easier way to compare two sites; unless there is and I haven't found it yet).
I'm liking it so far, and IMO, it's quite pretty too
I had my GA account since the start of GA and i think i am a GA stats addict. I check the stats anywhere i have internet access, school, friends' ect.
