    Side projects are where it's at, because they're typically low cost up front. You're just doing it for yourself. If no one likes it then you can ditch it or just use it for yoursel…

    Fair enough. But that's also one of the reasons we're successful, because we make stats/analytics easy to understand. GA is a very powerful piece of software but it also has a fair…

    Well the more traffic a site has, the more resources we need to process that traffic. 500,000 daily page views is currently the max we allow to ensure our service runs smoothly for…

    Hmm, I see how some people might be confused by that, since page views are typically talked about in monthly terms. I updated the registration page to list both daily and monthly l…

    Could you elaborate on your gripe? (I'm the co-founder/lead dev)

    What do you like about Woopra more than Clicky?

    I agree about the overcount vs undercount thing, but I think Clicky's method is much closer to the "truth" of site engagement. Tabs aren't used much outside of the "power user" wor…

    The problem is that "bounce" is a broken metric. It implies that people "bounced away" from your site very quickly because they didn't find it engaging. But the standard definition…

    It's even cheaper if you build your servers yourself and colocate them at a datacenter. Of course, not every company has a sysadmin, but if you do, you will save a bundle. This als…

    I dont think it's a big problem :) Justin.tv is certainly amongst the top 1% of sites in the world, in terms of traffic. If you have a site that has more than 5,000 simultaneous us…

    Unlike Google, we are a small company and don't have millions to throw at hosting data centers all around the world on insanely fast connections. So it is very understandable that …

    Thanks. If you compare us to any other analytics servic that charges money, I think you will find our prices for the amount of page views you can track are amongst the very lowest …

    You basically have four real options for real time analytics, and they all either cost money, or are in beta and soon will cost money. 1. Chartbeat. $10/month. Pretty slick, honest…

    And how many sites would that ever apply to? Like, 10 total sites?

    We've got access to the people who run the 100,000 web sites being monitored by getclicky.com (same team). We shouldn't have a problem there.

    FYI, Contenture is about a lot more than ads. It's also the dead simplest way to create premium features for your site with very very little work.

    Comment #556469

    Oh, ok. I interpreted your comment to mean that no major service could pull real time analytics beacuse it's just too hard. Sure we're a lot smaller than Google but 200,000 is a pr…

    getclicky.com monitors over 200,000 sites and it's real time. Sure it's challenging to provide that level of service but without challenge life is dull.

    It does say that in the paragraph right above the table. For sure, adding another column would make it more obvious, but I feel like that would be overwhelming. I have a problem wi…

    Does it really cut off ~ URLs? No one has ever mentioned that to me. I'll look into it. Of course, we normally log full referrers, even dynamic ones, so you can see the actual site…

    We allow sites up to 300K daily. The default plans just go up to 100K, but you can create a custom plan also.

    Yes, Clicky is more visitor centric, including tracking custom data per visitor, but plenty of good overview data as well. Plus the whole thing is real time, including goals and ca…

    We can work out a deal for sites like that that just have lots of sub-domains. Just contact us via email if you sign up and need something special like that.
