Clicky: Web Analytics on Steriods
Posted on September 23rd, 2007 by BittBox
I don’t even know where to start. Clicky is a new web analytics service (free, or pro for a small fee) that is so feature-rich it’s hard to imagine everything that Clicky can do. Not only do they offer the normal set of analytics features, they have tons more that leave competitors in the dust. Some cool new features include a Wordpress plugin, A live Spying feature (like Digg), Access to the API, File Download Tracker, Stats Via RSS, Integration with iGoogle, the list goes on and on. The only dissapointment I’ve found so far is the fact that Clicky isn’t offering their (killer) service to websites with more than 20,000 page views per day : ( They claim to be adding hardware to make this possible soon. One more thing. . . If you sign up for their affiliate program, it’s possible to get the premium service for free. And I hope they hurry. Move over Google Analytics, Clicky is where it’s at!

Awesome find!!!
Thank bittbox.
I can see the offers already coming in for this company from MS and Yahoo.
Looks pretty cool. I’ve been using Reinvigorate (http://www.reinvigorate.net/) and have liked it a lot, will have to check out Clicky.
Is this kinda like SiteMeeter then?
I signed up a few days ago. The service is pretty awesome. It’s priced so well and the data seems to be placed in logical spots. I hate having to dig for reporting tools like I do in a couple of the paid-for services I’ve signed clients up for.
I might add, the 2 main things I’d like to see added are Flash and Resolution information.
I played around with the demo and it seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. I just wish they had a newsletter to sign up for upgrade news! I’m subscribed to their blog RSS feed. I’ll let every one know when they upgrade their hardware to include some bigger websites.
I personally can’t wait. (really looking forward to the download tracking for my freebies.)

@Dillon,
It has about 20 more features than sitemeeter. If you scroll down on their homepage, you’ll see a chart that compares all the features for it’s competitors.

Cool.
By the way, as a design student, I am coming to your website every day, looking for things to inspire me. I really love everything you offere here.
Anyone know if the Clicky script requires the link and image text to work, or just the javascripts? I’m really not a fan of those little tag images showing what you use etc. Not that I wouldn’t put a link up to Clicky, but I’d rather have it be a text link…
It’s a pity that the userstats are not broken down to the browser versions (the IE6 / 7 fact is realy interesting for me).
Bitt, you always come up with the best finds! This is definitely worth a look, it’s got the perfect price tag!
Haven’t any of you guys heard of reinvigorate.net? I checked clicky’s demo and it works and looks like reinvigorate. The only thing is, reinvigorate.net is way better - function and interface. Best of all it’s free. Check it out, http://www.reinvigorate.net. It has all the features of clicky, I meant more features than clicky. And user stats are broken down into details like browser version, screen resolution, basically everything you need to know.
Ah come on Dino - does reinvigorate have an API? RSS feeds? Allow you to view individual dates in the past? Allow you to view aggregate data from multiple dates? A customizable dashboard? Widgets? Tracking custom data? Track outbound links? Track downloads? Data export? Feedburner integration?
The answer to all of those questions is “no”. I would hardly call that “all the same features”, let alone more features. Reinvigorate has some things going for it for sure, but there’s just no comparison.
Yeah but the Clicky free Basic package supports only up to 3 sites, up to 1,000 average daily page views per site. Limited feature set - which means you have to pay to use those advanced features.
I’m using reinvigorate and I have more than 5 accounts and all of them are free and I get all the information that I need.
I know Clicky is a cool stat engine but it’s really my personal choice to use reinvigorate. :)
I will have to say the reinvigorate interface is super super nice. And they provide lots of awesome charts and graphs that we all like. :P
I’m sold. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
http://crazyegg.com/ offers visualization(s) that will appeal to designers.
Clicky looks like a good stats app, but it’s annoying that it calls itself “Web Analytics 2.0″ when it’s really nothing of the sort. There’s a few rudimentary “analytics” features there, but where’s the goal tracking, the custom filters, the user segmenting, and other tools to slice & dice the data? The API sounds like a good idea, but it’s really Web Stats 1.0, which is a shame because I’d really like to see something more focused on the analysis of the data, than the mere reporting of it.
This is so… cool. I already tried it a little. It provide so many detail information. Very useful.
I have been using Clicky for a few months, and absolutely love it. Much easier to use than Google Analytics.
