Google Analytics - another update November 29, 2005
Posted by evilzenscientist in : blogging, evilzenscientist , trackbackA few weeks into using Google Analytics - and I must say I’m very impressed.
The data collected is stunning - for example - 70% of blog visitors use Firefox (not surprising for a tech blog)
Also currently 5% of my blog visitors are from a microsoft.com domain. A hearty hello if you’re in Redmond right now.
Now I was tracking a lot of this before - by trawling my apache logs. Google Analytics is just easier - and it produces pretty graphs!
The only downside - and I don’t recall seeing many blogs on this point yet - is the payload of the tracking technology. The analytics uses javascript - and downloads a huge 17KB of script. It’s not a lot - but the latency is noticable on some sites.
