i’m surprised someone hasn’t done this yet.
in addition to your requisite google analytics, i use performancing metrics to gather statistics on people visiting http://jratlee.com & http://ratcliffe-lee.com.
pMetrics sometimes provides data in a much easier-to-digest format. lots of times, you really need to do some digging on GA to find data that is relevant to the casual blogger. beyond that, one of the main reasons i keep pMetrics around is that it allows me to get RSS feeds of every visitor, search term, etc. that people use to hit my site. throughout the day, as i comb through my feeds, i’ll see the random search terms people use, where they came from, stuff the clicked on, etc. bermuda, germany, south america, sweden, etc.
sort of like the ending to jay & silent bob strike back, what if i started traveling to all the places that came to visit my site? i’m not talking about seeking these individuals out, that wouldn’t be necessary (or sane).
more about seeing the places that came to see me.
