Clicky vs Google Analytics

Although Google Analytics is pretty good compared to many of the old school web stats tools, there are new kids on the block well worth taking a look at, especially if you want real time stats.
Clicky Web Statistics definitely offers more in the way of functionality than Google Analytics, and is of particular interest to those who are hyperactive on the Web, and want to see how actions influence vistors in real time. For bloggers, people posting to forums (for various reasons such as brand awareness raising, or to promote a particular product or during a campaign, the real time stats are awesome.

And there is huge detail about what each visitor is doing on your site, as well as new additions such as adding your Twitter followers, which seems hugely popular with all.

I am particularly taken with their Pro plans and the opportunity to get a white label version of the product at a pretty reasonable cost ie just over £20 for 20 sites per month, which for an extra £1+/month to your clients has got to be worth investigating if you are doing SEO or Web PR for a few sites. And there's an API for your devs to get their teeth into to integrate it all with other funky stuff as well.

I'm going to play more with this over the coming days on a couple of other sites and probably post some more, but if you think Google Analytics was good, then you really, really need to try Clicky!
