analytics

I’ve been looking for something that would give me a better breakdown on the visitors to my lovely website. I signed up to get a beta version of measure map. It should be quite interesting when it arrives because it is specifically tailored to blog traffic.

However, when Google produces a new tool/toy, I feel the need to at least give it a spin. Google bought the company, Urchin Software, which creates the Analytics software to breakdown site traffic.

For me, it’s probably only going to provide me with more useless stats and entertainment. Or course I’m using the free version. I don’t have much need or desire to optimize my site traffic. It’s just fun to get a graphically organized display of the stats I look at from time to time.

This image is the base page. The four windows will be filled with joy when it picks up some site traffic. It said it would be about 12 hours before anything meaningful would appear. It should provide me with some entertainment in the morning.
