Search Engine Optimization

Here’s a list of Analytics tools from around the web. Some are free, while others are subscription based.

• Google Analytics – probably the most well known analytics tool on the internet. It has many advanced and enterprise level features. Best of all its free. Downside is – once you install analytics Google knows everything there is about your website.
• Piwik – open source analytics project. They use AJAX like Google. A good alternative if you don’t want to share info with the big brother.
• Clicktracks – enterprise level analytics software.
• Omniture – measure everything to death… really. You can track virtually everything you can imagine.. then imagine some more and track that as well. Omniture is one of the most powerful analytics tools on the market. Designed for enterprise level clients it comes at large figures.
• Sitemeter – another analytics tools.
• WebTrends – from the same company that makes Web Position (advanced SEO rank checker) comes the analytics solution. It’s quite expensive.
• Have a Mint – they shamelessly stole Mint design and made analytics software.
• Clicky – fun looking tool. I have not looked into to it, but you can give it a try.

More Tools: Semphonic | Analog

Coming Soon

• Yahoo Analytics
• Microsoft Adcenter Analytics

Both are coming very late to the scene. Google came at the time all quality analytics tools were quite expensive, so it turned tables around in favor of the small guys (making analytics vendors struggle).
