WordPress stats vs Google Analytics.
June 12, 2008
Okay, so I thought that WordPress stats gives you information about visitor sources also. I thought I would love to know if anyone is reading my blog. Did a quick go-through the wordpress stats FAQs and found that it does not provide visitor info. Instead it refers “Sitemeter” for visitor-analysis. I signed up for a free account at sitemeter….it asks you to put a sitemeter code in the HTML part of the pages(posts) you want to track. Just followed the instructions.
So now I have the results, that is the sitemeter stats for my wordpress blog. Thanks to all my visitors for reading my blog.
WordPress says that it uses the same code as Google analytics. But unlike WordPress stats, Google Analytics shows you the visitor sources as well.

I haven’t tried sitemeter yet as I use Google Analytics. Is there something that would give sitemeter an edge google analytics?

Hi Allen!
Thanks for the comment and welcome to the blog …..
A feature which striked me is that Sitemeter is instant. It shows you who all viewed your blog in last 20 minutes.
