I was poking around trying to find a nice analytics package the other day when I came across a fantastic open source one. If you’re interested in tracking and analytics of your sites you might want to check out:
Free Analytics and Statistics Package – http://www.phpmyvisites.us
Now I know it doesn’t do everything that a lot of the of the paid services do with click streams and the like. However if you’re currently using something like statcounter.com this is definately a better solution as it gives you:
- One it’s a free analytics/statistics package
- Has heatmapping built in
- You host it so you’re not sharing your data with anyone.
- You get a lot of the features that statcounter charges you extra for for Free.
I’ve been looking at it and it would be great to hybrid it with a a click tracking system for PPC. I haven’t done a ton of research into the code yet but if someone was interested in working on this together it might be pretty cool to build a click/conversion tracking plug-in for it. Then eventually move that to a bid management plug-in of some sort. Let me know what you think.
mhhh and what’s with phpopentracker you posted about, doesn’t it do all this and has a conversion tracking plugin already?
NIce, I’ll have to check that out…I kind of want to mess around with the heat mapping tool.
[...] is nice You might check out this too Free – Open Source Analytics/Statistics Package | Affiliate, SEO and PHP Coding Blog – OOOFF.com or this Powerful Open Source ( FREE ) Click tracking tools to improve your Pay Per Click [...]
Now that’s a nice one. Can you tell me if you can track sales with that software, couldn’t find that one on their site.
If you like the heatmap stuff you can get crazyegg for free too. In terms of heatmaps, the best (free) software I came across.
