I just started using a new Stat Analyzer on the site called GetClicky in addition to my Sitemeter counter. There are quite a few things I like about GetClicky over the Sitemeter stats, but GetClicky seems to be lacking a simple counter to display. They do have some nifty (and huge) stats widgets if you are happy with your numbers and want to show them off, but nothing just showing a number of visitors to date. For this reason I am going to keep both, but I will be looking to GetClicky for any stats and analysis I need and just use Sitemeter to display a visitor count to my readers.

GetClicky has a very easy to navigate dashboard with many very satisfying little charts summarized right on the opening page after logging in. My favorite feature is the Feedburner integration allowing you to input your Feedburner URL and see your subscriber stats right alongside your visitor stats. I’m also quite taken with the spy feature that allows you to watch your visitors in real time, although it kind of feels like stalking them.

The best way to get a good feel for it is to go there and use the free demo. There is a Wordpress Plug-in available that makes it even more customizable and allow you to install the code without editing your template, or displaying the GetClicky button. There is also a  premium service available, but I have no idea what it adds since I am quite happy with all the fun stuff on the free version. They do have an affiliate program, so when you sign up and display your GetClicky thing-banner-button-whatever, you get credit for each time it is clicked and that person signs up (so click on mine, or the link in this post and sign up!!). I’m not sure what the credit is for yet. Maybe it’s just cash. Oh Boy, I’m gonna be rich.
