I would have totally forgotten about my weekly poll, had someone not reminded me about it. The last one ran for about two weeks. I’ve now changed the poll to ask readers what their blog stats tool of choice.
A lot of bloggers are stats whores like myself so we use multiple services. I guess one is not enough (especially if some of them aren’t that reliable).
Here’s the list of the most common ones and you can pick as many as 3 of your favorite tools in our poll:
- AwStats
- Webalizer
- Statscounter
- Sitemeter
- Google Analytics
- Performancing Metrics
- eXTReMe Tracking
- MeasureMap
- W3Counter
- WP-ShortStats or SlimStats
There are more tools out there but I believe the list above represents 90% of what people actually use.
If you’re on a shared hosting environment, you may have AwStats and/or Webalizer pre-installed. Only check them as one of your choices if you actually review your site stats thru these apps on a regular basis. Otherwise, pick the ones that you check or depend on more than the others.
You can vote for as many as three stats tools you most frequently use.

W3Counter of course.
Awstats
Google Analytics
Performancing
I previously used Sitemeter and WP-Shortstats which I uninstalled and changed to WP-Slimstats. I also use Google Analytics and Reinvigorate which is not on your list.
You didn’t mention what I use:
Reinvigorate.net (I wrote about it here)
and Mint (haveamint.com)
I also use these, although not as frequent:
MeasureMap
Google Analytics
Looks like a lot of people are also using Reinvigorate. I’ve added it now in the poll. I’m also limiting the options to the free apps. Mint is cool but it costs $30 so a lot of bloggers don’t have access to it.
Maybe you should’ve separated the log analysis tools from the JavaScript-based tools.
What I use is not listed: Wordpress.com’s, and FeedBurner.
I use Google A but not on a blog.
I use Statcounter and Google Analytics previously but abandoned Google A later.
I use the following:
GoogleAnalytics
SiteMeter
Stats4You
I use the following: Statcounter, reinvigorate, Google Analytics, sitemeter and 103bees
Oh yeah, thanks jhay for reminding me about 103bees which I also use.
I use the stats provided by Wordpress.com which can check stats for several wp blogs
I’m currently using WPs Blog Stats…just OK for a newbie like me
Cheers!
sitemeter
statcounter
performancing
analytics
I am using Google Analytics it’s useful anyway.
I like Sitemeter for quick data and Google Analytics for a deeper view into my stats.
