I used Woopra myself and was so impressed with the whole software. I think it is way better than Analytics ever was and easier to comprehend too.

Their live chat with visitors is spooky but kind of cool.

I too have used Analytics from day one, and generally been happy with it. But it’s great to see this alternative. I’m definitely gonna give it a try. Thanks for the tip and the great site you’ve developed. Just subscribed!

Thanks to you for finding and presenting this nice alternative! Indeed its that what happens to me quite often: Its nice, its interesting, so I try .. thinking starts later …

But I just want to spend a few words on the privacy issue, which I believe is really underestimated by most webmasters.
In fact the Eurpean commission considers allready an IP to be “personal data”, which means that storing this becomes hardly possible. Google is in heavy discussions about this with the European Commission.

In Germany there are already court activities ongoing to clarify this. Some people sued the government for storing IPs on their websites.
Indeed I´m myself thinking whether I should not remove “individual” data (IPs) from Server logs, after - or even before - statistical analysis. Running two forums I get quite many requests to “remove” personal data, its becoming very important for users.

But the consequences are clear … going much beyond removing the nice flags above the coments showing who visited you…

Andy, you make some valid points. With pricing, I hope it is something like Remember the Milk where you get support with the paid but the free plan includes all the features. But that’s a highly rosy expectation.

I use Counterize for everyday stats and use Google analytics when I am trying to look at a month’s performance and see whwre I can make changes for improvement. Woopra has still been a toy and I am not sure how long I will keep it.

Privacy is another good point that I am not even going to tread on at the moment. Thanks for the valuable discussion and see you around.

Looks very pretty. But I see some basic questions:

1) Pricing: “Woopra is free of charge during the Beta testing phase. Both free and paid plans will be available as soon as Woopra is officially released.”

What does this mean ?? Hard to guess … I´m really afraid that it is like so often, that only some small basic things remain free.

2) What do I really do with the data? Currently I´m running awstats and statpress, and this already gives me much more information than actually needed. Okay, this is up to everyone…

3) User privacy. We are comming to a point, where it will be very difficult to collect data about visitiors. At least here in Germany I have doubts that it will be possible to build up and maintain electronic “user profiles”

Hi K,

It’s been a little while since the post now. Did you get Approval yet? Woopra sounds really cool, I’d like to know how it goes.

I use Google Analytics and FireStats at the moment. GA has some cool stuff coming, such as the ability to track clicks on certain items, how far through a movie people play etc. That sounds interesting too, although I’m not sure I need it…

The more I’ve been thinking about more real-time stats (I already use Mint for some real-time data) and it might make me more obsessed with checking them….it’s a nasty habit I seem to have developed.

Statistics Anonymous anyone?

Google Analytics does a great job doing my traffic analysis. I suspect Google will further improve it’s software.

Woopra would have to create a fantastic paid program to match Google Analytics in future.

Am still going to follow your recommendation and test Woopra though!

thanks,

Interesting. I like Google analytics but there is something I do not like about allowing the big G too much easy information about your sites users and trends.

Taking it away to separate program seems like a sensible option as long as it can perform as well

Analytics has always proven to be (at least in my eyes) far more superior than any other Analytics program. I’d be a little weary to switch.

I think I remember seeing this covered on the Geekbrief.tv podcast the other week - at least I think it was this - I don’t really remember the name.

The potential features are very interesting, especially the interactivity with visitors - which is what I would like to see more of on my blog, be it comments or any other dialogue with my readers.

I’d definitely give Woopra a try, just to see how it compares to Google Analytics.
