I am having a really hard time comparing all the available traffic analyzers; I had my eyes set on Gauges ( http://get.gaug.es ) because of its pristine look compared to the unholy mess of Google Analytics, but maybe there are better or equally-good alternatives out there. How do you compare the tools available out there, as long as one of your main parameters are design/UX? It feels like there are as many traffic an…

I understand you get a better feeling off it, but I'd love to hear from people who have noticed something using real-time analytics they wouldn't have seen from plain old analytics. I'm not sceptical, just curious as I think it can easily turn into a great way to waste time...
I sometimes wonder about the value of real-time analytics. I use Google Analytics real-time, and it can be extremely addictive watching visitors arriving, navigating, hoping you'll get a conversion, looking at how they found you. But does it really add anything over none-real time analytics? Much healthier to check your reports once a week or so I would think. I often think its just another distraction (like checking…
Does chartbeat not publish their pricing? I'm trying to check what they'd charge us but I don't see anything.

I'm certain this no so much the case with non-publishers or page view driven businesses.
I've been using charbeat for a long time and all I can say is: I love it. I really do. The insights I get are priceless. The only downside is that sometimes I spend too much time watching it instead of writing code.

Look at their marketing. It's for publishers. Testimonials from Al Jazeera, Fox News and Fast Company. The value in real-time analytics for them is clear -- they're micromanaging their daily page view numbers by seeing what news of the day is attracting the most eyeballs from what sources, moving those stories up on their front page and expanding them, writing more about those topics, etc.

Incremental merchandising gains can lead the huge wins in e-commerce. Real time analytics are one way to see what people are buying and what's hot right now.
Let's put this example out there.. you have a product on your site that is now featured on a hot fashion blog. Customers are coming to your shop and clamoring to purchase it. Problem is, it is already running low on stock and once sold out, you'll miss the benefit of the blog exposure. Real time analytics allow the merchants to make quick, informed buying decisions so that the product remains in stock.
I'm very interested to see what Chartbeat does for e-commerce analytics.
