Traffic analysis is one of the most important parts of understanding your sites and its readers. Im a firm believer that sites and blogs need to really get to know their audience and offer them whatever they want.
GoSquared has launched their new LiveStats product in which they are trying to combined with their exsiting SellAds and GetSeen products. LiveStats is a real-time traffic monitoring app for small and medium sized websites. If you head over to http://gosquared.com, you can signup and then add your site. Once accepted you will be able to see in real time users visiting your site and their basic information.
Information available includes:

There are a few additional options, but instead of running through everything I just thought I would add their introduction video:
It has been reported this morning that Tivo and Quantcast have partnered. This is a very interesting partnership that is aimed to help Tivo sell more advertising on their service. Tivo will combine real time stats on TV viewing along with the users activity on the web which provides advertisers with a much rounded and needed statistics package. This will also prove or rather help publishers get an idea what amount of the audience sticks to the traditional TV viewership and how much of it has been taken away by the online streaming video.
This is a great step forward for Quantcast who seem to be receiving a lot more praise and partners of late. I’m seeing Quantcast gaining a lot more quantified publishers on the net and it is great to see more sites actually being open about their stats and audience.
I thought I would put together a quick list of the top three tools you should be using to measure your Twitter activity.
Tweetstats -Tweetstats measure your raw twitter data including tweets per day, tweets per month, retweets, time of day, density, replies, etc. It is a great tool to just see how much you have been tweeting compared to previous months and who you have the most conversations with.
Twitter Analyzer -Twitter Analyzer shows the same kind of information as Tweetstats but in a completely different style and is more focused on tweets per day and retweets. It is a great site to see a very quick overview but I think the site needs a bit of a more professional design.
Twitter Grader – Twitter Grader is a new tool from the team at Hubspot who also bought you Website grader. Twitter Grader analyses the basic of your twitter account and suggests any issues your account might have. It is a very basic tool that is always worth checking out.
As we mentioned a few days agoCompete was releasing a new user interface on the 15th of April. The time has come and here is what the new interface looks like.
The interface has had a huge makeover, in which now combines all of Compete’s business elements in a much simplier way. All of Compete’s solutions can be now found in a simple hearder bar, which offers everything from Analytics to Keyword tools. The analytics tools has a much cleaner and easy to user interface, but Compete is still trying to push Pro accounts as much as possible.
Overall the feel of the site is much better than before, and with the cleaner finish the usability of the site increases. I just wish my traffic would increase!
Internet Statistics company Compete is set to launch a new site with enhanced features on the 15th of April. The new service is rumoured to have an enhanced interface with dynamic graphs, daily digest and more. Check back to Crenk on the 15th for a complete run down of the new features.
I have been looking at our advertising page over at BuySellAds and have been wondering why stats over their estimates only 18,000 impressions when my Google Analytics says 51,000? I know with BuySellAds it take sometime to build up the stats, but our ads have been on the site for over a month and they still havent increased up to its real level.
What is currently happening with Feedburner stats? Is Google somehow updating the service, because in the last few days I have seen a huge drop in Google Feedfetch numbers within Feedburner. I thought I would also spend sometime trolling around the web to see if other sites have been affected by this situation and what I have noticed is that all sites have been affected by this. I was hoping Feedburner might be able to let us know if they are updating this system and why there are such drastic changes.
Not too long ago the guys over at Killerstartups launched a new service called Dataopedia. Dataopedia is a basic solution that allows users to type in any url and find quickly key metrics from various sources.
Metrics that are measured include Google PR, Alexa Numbers, Compete and Quantcast analysis, Social media breakdowns, Twitter news, Technorati links, Friendfeed and url registration information. Currently, Dataopedia pulls in all this information from various partners including Crunchbase, Compete, Digg, Getsatisfaction and more.
There’s also something interesting buried at the bottom of the site profiles: an ability to comment on the site using Disqus. While that’s not likely to have the reach of a Google Search Wiki, it provides yet another way to gather details about the site and its reputation.
Dataopedia does a great job of pulling all the key quantitative and qualitative site measures required in todays world of web 2.0. There is still a lot of improvements that can be made with the user interface, but over it is probably already leading in this specific market, even thought market is very small.
Review My Web is a FREE web site review. We stack you up against your competitors on Google, Yahoo, Blogs, and other key channels like Web 2.0, SEO, PPC, Social News, Blogs and much more.
The process is very simple, head over to Review My Web and add in the website you want analytics for and then also type in two competitors and then your email address. It normally only take up to five minutes for the report to then be sent to your email address, and its that simple.
Review My Web is a great free seo analysis tool, but it would also be great to see previous results and compare if everything is moving in the right direction.
What is Woopra? Woopra is Google Analytics on steroids! Woopra is currently in closed beta, but it has to be one of the most exciting analytics programs i have seen in a long time. The main features of the site are:
Live Tracking (see who’s on your blog right now)
Custom Notifications
Developer Tools
Rich Interface
Instant Messaging (yes, live chat with your readers)
Real-time Analytics
Visitor Tagging
The site is as i said in closed beta, but the company wants to open it up to as many people as possible, as fast as possible. Currently, it is just a scaling issue, so currently users are able to sign up and get an account, add the sites they want to track and then Woopra will accept these sites over time.
Want to know who’s on your site and where they came from, in real time? Then Whos.Amung.us is the tool for you. Whos.amung.us is a very simple widget that is embedded into your site and it shows how many people are actually on your site at any point in time. The code itself is simple and will take about 10 seconds to implement.
The question is however, do you want everyone to know how many people are on your site at any time? If you have a large site with great throughput, then it is idea. However, if your site is either small or is of a medium size but in decline, then this widget is not for you. It really only aims to boost the ego of the publisher and not too much else, but has a nice little novelty factor.
It was reported by News.com.au that Australia has one of the largest Firefox user numbers in the world. The Oceania region, which includes Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, had the highest percentage of Firefox browsers in the world at the end of last year, according to French web survey firm XiTi. The actual percentage of Firefox browsers has rise by 12% in Oceania in the last year and a half alone. This is a faster growth rate than Europe of even North America.
Im interested to see what percentage of the remain browser users use, IE or something else?
