blog traffic checker ?

[Educator]

I started using MyBlogLog for stats but quickly found the free area not very useful.

I then for the longest time used Google Analytics. I found that once I shows potental advertisers statistics of my site from GA they were OK 'coming on board' and advertising on my site.

I liked Feebburner as it updated the statistics during the day, but found it sometimes stopped monetoring my site for hours on end resulting in bogus statistics.

I still use GA but a couple of weeks ago a friend mentioned to me Performancing Metrics. They have a free and paid area and the 1st 30 days include at least many of the paid area features.

What I like about it are the clean lines, the constant real time updates, better information, and what is really cool is that every time I refresh the window it tells me how many people are actually on my site.

Think about it. As I write this there are 6 visitors to my site at the same time. Way cool for so early on a Saturday morning.

I see one big advantage of Clicky over Google Analytics.
Google code is in JavaScript, and I have seen recently that quite a number of people
disable JS in their browsers, thus statistics are not accurate.
Actually, I block Analytics in the browser myself, just because the visiting pages are loading faster.
Anyway, the Clicky code is in HTML, and probably would give better statistics, unfortunately you have to pay for it, as their free plan doesn't have much to offer.

I use both google analytics and sitemeter

I use the cpanel counter available through my ISP. Seems to work dandy.

I use (or have since yesterday) blogtopsites. It tells you your monthly stats and ranks you compared to all other blogs they have registered in your certain category. It is too early for me to tell if it helps increase traffic tho.

The free version of Clicky is limited to sites/blogs that have less than 1,000 uniques per day.

If you're using WordPress, there are several plugins for keeping track of your stats/analytics.

For my blog I use Firestats (WP plugin) and Reinvigorate. I can also check some of my stats via MyBlogLog and Feedburner. I haven't tried Clicky yet, but I plan to do so one of these days.
