Clicky Blog

I absolutely love Clicky. The best feature is "Spy" which shows you a live view of visitors as they interact with your site. Careful- can be very addictive. I'm watching mine right now when I should be coding :) Referral link: http://getclicky.com/245493 Non-referral link: http://getclicky.com

http://getclicky.com/ is my favorite.

I just finished up a small Mac OS X app for viewing your Clicky (http://getclicky.com) analytics in your Mac's menu bar. Let me know what you guys think about the site and the app and if you have any feedback.

Here are a few analytics companies: http://www.kissmetrics.com/ http://www.woopra.com/ http://getclicky.com/

- E-mail/calendar/docs: Gmail, Google Calendar/Docs - Hosting: Slicehost - Invoicing: CurdBee (http://curdbee.com) - Analytics: Clicky (http://getclicky.com), Google Analytics - Project management: ActiveCollab - File-sharing: Dropbox - Version control: Git - Backups: TimeMachine with TimeCapsule & custom offsite-backups - Instant messaging: Adium

Side projects are where it's at, because they're typically low cost up front. You're just doing it for yourself. If no one likes it then you can ditch it or just use it for yourself for whatever purpose. No big loss. But if it turns out you're building something that people are passionate about, then you can turn it into a business without all the risk of going into it like a business from the very beginning. http://getclicky.com started as an internal project for another company I worked for a few years ago. It was profitable 4 months after launch, and revenues are doubling ever year. 2010 will be about $1M. We are happy with that.

Give Clicky a try for 30 days. I found that it gives you more actionable metrics out of the box AND it is real time. It makes a huge difference when you launch. affiliate link: http://getclicky.com/219826 non affiliate link: http://getclicky.com

Open source: http://piwik.org Clicky: http://getclicky.com/ (This is a good one) Woopra: http://woopra.com/

I use Clicky. It's quite good for real-time data. http://getclicky.com

Server logs GA http://www.getclicky.com http://www.woopra.com None of them are perfect so a mixture is good. I agree GA's numbers are the ones with the largest margins: I simply use it for the Adsense integration stuff.

I would stick with Clicky. If your traffic is under 100,000 pageviews / day, I haven't found a better one. The founders are very responsive and there's a good community built around it. I use their REST API to actually integrate popularity into my site. Works great. Sign up here: http://getclicky.com/27959

Use clicky, http://getclicky.com I've run A/B experiments via them.

Why not use Clicky (http://www.getclicky.com)? It gives you both the ability to track users in real time using the Spy feature and get the same level of detail that Google delivers.

I agree! Clicky [http://getclicky.com] FTW. Live traffic trumps delayed data anyday!

Give http://getclicky.com/ a shot.

You can white label clicky...haven't used them personally. http://getclicky.com/whitelabel/

Chrome is still moving up on Clicky... http://getclicky.com/marketshare/global/web-browsers/ I switched from Firefox to Chrome out of frustration because Firefox kept breaking the tree-style-tabs extension. I used to be a big Firefox defender before that but I gave up and moved to Chrome.

You can see their full and accurate traffic statistics here: http://getclicky.com/stats/?site_id=177955

For comparison have a look at the getclicky stats: http://getclicky.com/marketshare/global/web-browsers/ They seem to be pretty close.

That URL gives you a login page. Direct link: http://getclicky.com/marketshare/global/search-engines/

Clicky's stats show Google at around 90% on desktop and 96% on mobile. http://getclicky.com/user/#/marketshare/global/search-engines/

A few that I swear by: github http://github.com for source control and wikis sendgrid http://sendgrid.com or Amazon SES for email mogotest http://mogotest.com for browser testing recurly http://recurly.com for managing recurring payments tender http://tenderapp.com for support / help desk linode http://linode.com for hosting or Amazon EC2 mocksup http://mocksup.com for quick and easy mockups clicky http://getclicky.com for analytics zerigo http://www.zerigo.com for dns and monitoring AWS http://aws.amazon.com S3, EC2, and everything else :)

We use Clicky's real time Web Analytics http://getclicky.com/66372805 (affiliate link)

Here are some better places to get real stats on browser usage: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/ http://gs.statcounter.com/ http://getclicky.com/marketshare/global/web-browsers/ Your own browser stats are skewed at this moment, I wouldn't base any important decisions on them. One interesting tidbit from Statcounter: In Europe FF usage has caught up to IE, they are both around 40%. In North America IE has double the usage of FF, with IE at ~50%.

Nice view of Chrome's marketshare after each major update: http://getclicky.com/marketshare/global/web-browsers/google-chrome/

This measure also supports that article - not even a blip - http://getclicky.com/marketshare/us/nexus-one/

As far as I understand something similar already exists, at least twice. I only remember the whereabouts of one of those. It's a service launched recently by the people from Clicky Analytics. It's called Contenture. See here: http://contenture.com/ http://getclicky.com/blog/164/announcing-contenturecom-a-new-micropaym…

whoa. I just went to their site, by the looks of it they have all features requested here and more. Specifically, they allow you to track one user's fate which is something I always wanted: http://getclicky.com/media/screenshots/visitor.gif They also got data export, APIs and real-time stats.

> A lot of people very clearly are willing to update every three months. ...and a lot of people very clearly are not. So now what? We say, "this doesn't work for lots of people", you counter-point that it does work for a lot of people ... both statements are true and nothing has been accomplished. > And for people using Chrome, they get updates even more frequently. And for people using Internet Explorer, they get updates much less frequently. Guess which browser still has the lion's share of the market? (Hint: http://getclicky.com/marketshare/global/web-browsers/) > When the upgrading is painless, no one minds doing it. Right, and that's the rub! Upgrading is not painless! I think you, and I, and Silhouette are in agreement here: if upgrading were painless, no one would mind doing it. The problems seems to be that for you, "painless" means, "I have to download and install it", and for us, "painless" means, "we have to answer support calls about what happened to the bookmarks menu and why X page is no longer working even though it was two weeks ago and by the way the back button looks different and I don't think I like this new version..." > If you are not willing to update, you're not getting security updates anyway. Nobody's objecting to security updates! This very statement is so indicative of what the problem is here: that security updates are being conflated with application updates. Security updates are fine! Corporate IT will almost always roll out a revision…

SSL adds latency, because you're setting up an encrypted connection. Google hates slowing down users, and we don't want to slow down every user unless it's a clear win. That's one reason. When Google switched to AJAX-based search, that temporarily stopped sending referrers, and lots of people screamed bloody murder. For example, http://getclicky.com/blog/150/googles-new-ajax-powered-search-results-… said "So what can we do about it? If you run a blog, write about this. Submit this story or your own story to large tech blogs like TechCrunch, CenterNetworks, ReadWriteWeb, GigaOm, etc - no large site has written about this yet, and one of them needs to. ... Do anything you can to spread the word and let Google know that this is not acceptable." Or see http://www.seobook.com/Ad-Networks-Partners-Hoarding-Publisher-Data-Fo… or http://econsultancy.com/us/blog/3240-google-ajax-bad-news-for-third-pa… or http://blogs.sitepoint.com/2009/02/04/google-update-breaks-third-party… . So we heard lots of complaints. SSL as an option provides a nice choice for people who care about these issues and don't mind taking a tiny hit in latency.
