hi obeoman!

you finally started a blog. that's wonderful. we're here, call us anytime. thanks.

I signed up for their services two days ago, not for the metrics, but for the Firefox Widget to assist in writing posts. It's also very good.

Looks like a cool tool. Will check it out.

Oh, I don't know. I like Deep Log Analyzer myself. Pay one price, have as many page views as all your sites can make.

"The best"? Isn't that kind of like "the best color" or "the best tasting food"?

You're right John. Maybe we did get a little carried away. We haven't tried them all. Let's rephrase and say "our favorite", so far. We like the ability to track "footprints" in real time.

ok, here's a fun test.

get a free account, insert the code, click on the "spy" tab and just stare at the screen and watch what your visitors are clicking on - in virtual real time. that is what i love about it. talk about killing time.....by the way, it's not just for blogs - use it on your website too. right now, i'm watching a second by second update of where people are clicking on our blog. to me, that's cool.

Yeah, that sounds cool, I guess, but I can get the same thing thus:

tail -f /path/to/access_log.txt

The ISP's been letting me have that free for years -- they just threw it in.

I guess I have a pet peve about http://www.someone-elses-slow-javascript.com because half the sites I visit these days make me wait while the status bar says:

"Loading http://www.someone-elses-slow-javascript.com/Wh...
2.0/Gizmo/LaunchedFrom/Foopdewop.js"

Another benefit of an offline tool such as deep log analyzer is implicit in what you wrote above -- "talk about killing time". Watching my pals visit one by one is fine, but tweaking the site for performance is more a matter of watching a lot (statistically speaking) of people I don't even know make their way to my search page or some other page that will lead them to raise their hand and beg me to sell them something, and seeing how more might make it there.

But of course, I stand by my original point and the way you took it -- that just makes Deep Log Analyzer "my favorite", not "the best". There's actually a cooler standalone tool than that, clicktracks, but I found it a bit too pricey.

Cheers,

John
