My Stats Are Giving Me A Headache

2008-04-28 | by LaughinCrow [mail] | Categories: Off-topic, Struggling

When I started this blog, I knew it would be hard to keep doing one post a day. And I have been trying my best. Although I know their quality is varying.

What I did not know is that the site will be giving me some trouble, too.

Up to a few days ago I had two ways of knowing the site's traffic levels: the built-in feature of the blog sofware or my server's web stat tracker.

Problem was, the figures shown were different, and I'm not quite sure what to trust, they are both really useful. They both break down information quite well and give me different pieces of info. The blog software is great at tracking down who referred me and my server told me hits and visits by hour, not by day.

Recently, I decided to sign up to Google Analytics, which is a great stat tracker, specially since it's free, and even tells me how much time people spend here and breaks down traffic by city, even.

However, it again shows different figures to the other two. Darn.

Which one is right??

Also, I recently (today) added feedburner feeds to my site (had a bit of truble adding the link, don't know someone might have noticed that the sidebar went funny for a few minutes). However, I finally managed to do it. And I can track how many people subscribe to my feeds from now own!

On a totaly unrelated notice: I managed to give myself bad Karma in the comments because I mistyped some HTML code while answering a comment. That was embarrasing.

An unexpected error has occured!

If this error persits, please report it to the administrator.
