Ok, not really, but I do know if somebody is looking at my site. When I stopped keeping my site up to date about a year and a half ago, I let the mint stats that I was keeping break. This past February I connected the site with google analytics. This is the website stats tool that google runs that they bought from Urchin a few years ago. It is a pretty good free stats tool, which seems to integrate well with adwords (which I don’t use). Now though, I wanted a little more real time stats as well as more flexibility. So I went back to Mint which is a great stats program. It does cost $30, but it is well worth the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone who runs their own website. There are numerous plugins that can be added to enhance the functionality, or you can write your own. My installation can also be hosted on my server, which I like. That gives me more control over the settings and allows me direct access to the database if I want to run queries. I am already getting addicted to watching my stats and seeing when I have visiters. Not that I have a lot of visiters, but I do have a couple of posts that get regular traffic. Watching my stats will probably help push me to post more useful articles. Please note that I do not give out the stats information nor do I have any way of identifying who you are while visiting my site.
