Finally got a Google Analytics account
I’ve wanted to add some sort of analysis package to my site for a while. My preferences were Google Analytics and Measure Map (also purchased by Google. Unfortunately both are invitation only. I looked at Mint, but with all the free stuff out there, I’m too cheap to fork out $30 a site. I never managed to succeed registering with Performancing. There were a few other things on my radar, but none of that matters now because I just received an invitation to Google Analytics.
Once I get it setup I’ll finally get a chance to see what Simon and David read. Then I can cater my posts to their tastes or I could write a few inflammatory posts about Rails to get some other readers.

I’ve been using Google Analytics for a couple of months. I’ve not really found it any more useful than the awstats that I use. I tend to find that their interface doesn’t entirely work so well on firefox, which is odd, because they pimp it to high heaven.
Also, I tend to read your blog through a rss feeder, so you’ll only ever see me comment.

As you probably know Google Analytics was Urchin, so I cut them some slack with Firefox compatibility.
I hadn’t thought about RSS feeds, I guess that’s what happens when you install software after coming home from the pub. It looks like none of the ones I mentioned support RSS tracking.
