Google analytics is a powerful free tool from of course no other than Google. This is what I am using and my favorite among free web analytics tools. It generates in-depth data about the targeted traffic to a website. The standard reporting includes daily visits (unique visitors, new visitors, returning visitors), page views, bounce rates, traffic type and visitors country or territory.
StatCounter

Statcounter is awesome because it allows you put stats on your website without any hyperlinks or even visible counters.

Wow! This explains the new look. You have changed your niche!
Anyway, I have a experienced them all but I am not particularly fond of SiteMeter. Most of my US visitors complained about pop-ups/pop-unders. 🙁
I’ve installed the google analytics on one of my sites and i think I can learn a lot about my visitors and the topics that I would write to encourage more visits.
I love your sites new look!
Thanks for the links.
I’ve been using sitemeter among those listed, I find it easier to navigate and all…will try to make use of google analytics as well…
I’m using Whos.amung.us. It’s nice to know when my blog gets the most visits, for stats sake.
