Reinvigorate Makes Checking Blog and Website Stats A Breeze

Last week I was invited to beta test a new web analytics application called Reinvigorate. I had completely forgotten that I had signed up for their beta test. I already am using Clicky, Google Analytics and the new WordPress Stats plugin to track my blog traffic. However, after a few days of Reinvigorate tracking my stats I fell in love with the simple interface and ease of use to get the information I want about my visitors in a graphical display.

Google Analytics is just too much information for me right now for the amount of visitors I get to my site. Maybe if my traffic increases it will have more of an application. I love Clicky but I haven’t signed up for their paid service which prevents me from using all of the tracking tools. The WordPress Stats plugin is alright but doesn’t give the detail about my visitors like Clicky does.

(Please ignore my current stats, not much traffic in the last few days)

So, now I am looking at Reinvigorate and as I said I love the interface and ease of use to find just the information I want. Reinvigorate allows you to track as many sites as you would like on one account and sort them into groups, i.e. Personal Sites, Business Sites, etc. I imagine in the future their will be a fee depending on the number of sites tracked and the stats delivered but for now it is all free.

Adding a site is easy and if you are using either WordPress or Drupal on your site their is a tracking plugin you can use. I used the Wordpress plugin on two of my blogs, typed in the tracking ID for each blog and was up and running in a couple of minutes. Easy as pie. I use the cms application XOOPs on Infomania World and installing the tracking code into my theme was very easy. The Wordpress plugin is great because if I change my theme I don’t have to make sure I have the tracking code in the new theme. The plugin takes care of any changes.

Reinvigorate features include the following.

  1. Real time statistics including number of active visitors.
  2. Site traffic that shows hourly, daily, month and yearly visitors, page views, returning visitors and view depth. This is shown in graphical and table format.
  3. Visitor detail that shows browsers, platform, screen resolution, timezone, geolocation, and language and region. The geolocation feature uses Google Maps to plot visitors and you can simply click on a tag to see the location of the visitor.
  4. Session information including visit duration and visit depth.
  5. Site and path information. I like the popular path report that shows frequent paths visitors take. Other reports show popular pages, entry pages and exit pages.
  6. Search and referrer reports that show top referrers, referred visitors, referred pages, referred searches and keywords. The keywords report shows a graph with the 50 most frequent search keywords and their frequency.

Reinvigorate offers quite a web analytics program which I highly recommend to anyone running a website or blog. Their are graphs and pie charts and maps galore to help make it easy to navigate through visitor traffic statistics.

Sign up for the beta and hopefully you should receive an invite within a week or so. If you end up using Reinvigorate for web stats let me know what you think in comparison to other stat programs currently available.
