Hi all,
Every successful blogger likes stats, i also love to check stats even in the morning when i go to work online i always check stats first. In this blog author has provided decent source of stats plugins. thanks to author for great sharing i personally like google analytics plugin.
wordpress stat plugin is also nice.
I'm using StatPress and GoogleAnalytics.
StatPress shows 180 visitors
GA shows only 25 visitors…
can someone explain?
Yes, they differ. They use different algorithms to calculate your visitors. Or maybe are you sure about the type of visitors you compared? Unique visitors and normal visitors?
Many thanks for this post!!!
I was searching for a long time for a good stat plugin and now I found it!
Which is the best Plugin to Use for Site Stats
You can try WordPress.com stats plugin,
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/
Its Nice. I will surely try one soon.
i think no need of any plugins 😀 , if you add more more plugins to your wordpress site, the site speed will reduce, just add google analytics code and get the work done 🙂
Great post!
1 Question!! I installed WordPress Stat and Google Analytics to my blog. Strangely I found difference between Preview Count. WordPress Stats shows more page-view than Google Analytics. Similarly Adsense Impression is same as Google Analytics but less than WP-Stats.
Why is So? Is their anything with Cache Plugin!
Google Analytics visits are not proper these days, especially due to their new algorithm & content farm thing mate.
Maybe you can disable the cache plugin and check for next day. 🙂
Hey dude, the download link for WordPress Wassup plugin doesn't work.. Please check out!! 🙂
Thanks! WordPress wassup plugin rocks.
Cheers.
really nice list…just saw it..thanks might use some in my new site…
Beneficial list.you are able to also use sitemeter which isn’t a plugin though but you can easily add 2 line javascript in your blog and you’ll bring elaborate statistic report of your web log.
Some of the plugins listed there are really familiar with me but there are some that are new to me and that are very interesting. Knowing the stats of your blog is really important to know where you have to focus and where you are already excelling.
Nice list. Stats press is favorite one. no api no code. Install and go! Statcounter official plugin can be included too!
i check the stats on the analytics, though i don’t have the google analytics plugin for wordpress yet, but am looking foreword to use it soon. When it comes to stats i only prefer analytics and also another thing to keep in mind is that a stats plugin will always slow your blog so no point keeping more than one 🙂
Good list.You can also use sitemeter which is not a plugin though but you can easily add 2 line javascript in your blog and you will get detailed statistic report of your blog.
This seems a nice collections and it can be very useful list for me as i love wordpress.
Google Analytics is just the bare minimum everybody should have on their websites. It horrifies me when I speak to people who have no clue about analytics, tracking and statistics. You should see their eyes light up when they "get" it…LOL
yeah, the feel of the “first time analytics” experience is really cool. we all remember, don’t we, how it was to see the first of the visits come to our blogs and sites and which urls were referring and which keywords were sending the traffic… it truly lights up the eyes 🙂
Dude thanks for listing stats plugin. I added statpress Reloaded plugin to my site 🙂
Awesome collections of plugins. Installed all plugins in the list. Hope everything works fine. 🙂
I use nStatistics 2.0 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nstatistics/). I like it because it have graphs with zoom function and graphs per day and hours. It is great and olso I like row visits table and crawlers statistics witch is separate then users unique visits. Other stats plugins count in same place crawlers and real visitors witch always give a false statistics.
thanks for some links. i have now installed some of them.
A really cool list by Gagan! I am not really using any of these..I just use the Google Analytics code embedded in the theme for all the statistical analytics.. I will surely give a try to some of these..
Thats a cool collection 🙂
Am using Google analytics..
All are some nice plug in. I am using statcounter plug in as statcounter is my most favorite site for check my blog stats.
really a awesome collection dude nice share really 🙂 🙂 🙂
AWESOME collection! 🙂
I will definitely start using them!!
Some I've never heard of before.
I'm looking for simple in use,. but comprehensive enough in the stats it provides.
I already use Statpress but after 2-3 month I remove it as it eat my database space too fast. However, other are just new name for me.
I am not using any pluggings for anlaytics, its just pasted at footer.
I use Wass-Up Plugin but this take an size of 30MB on database so i use to delete stats older than 3 months so this save me a lot of space on database 🙂
I use some plugin in the list =)
How popular are some of these that aren’t google analytics? Anaylitics gives me more stats than I know what to do with….is there something in the other ones that is actually valuable?
Great Collection dude.. But Answer me, how much they slows down our site. I am using Google analytics.
Nice list, am more familiar with google analysis and WP Stats, thanks for this. WordPress rocks with many plugin to make all effective!
