I have been happy with Statcounter but I have never really used GA so I don't know how they compare.

If you have Hostgator, use Awstats which is Hostgator's tracking tool.

I prefer StatCounter, but I keep GA on my high traffic sites just because I think Google uses the data to a certain extent in the SERPS.

Statcounter is a good alternative and still gives you insight into incoming keywords, visits and others. Its also free to use.

I have heard getclicky is good but haven't used them yet.

But why would anyone want to stay away from google analytics? Millions of dollars worth technology for free.

It's simple Google will put you out of business and sell their findings on a massive level as far as stats are concerned.

Imagine giving your competition your stats and what they can do with them.

Only when you are trying to game the search engines. If you are publishing quality content, google analytics helps google discover the usefulness of your site and traffic will go up!

  I've used GetClicky for about a year and have been very happy with it. I really like the dashboard where you can watch your site stats in real-time.

BigAlrosen,

Get Clicky provides some good analytics. They have both a free and a paid version however be careful with the free version. It installs some footer popups that are visible to users. You may have to use the paid version in order to get rid of these.

Hope that helps,

Shawn
