Awsome. I am going to test and compare:

103bees vs. StatTraq vs. HitTail.

One question why use this tools instead of Google Alytics which I currently used and is free. I am a complete rookie when compared to you guys in the blogging world so pardon my naiveness.

[...] I signed up at the website http://103bees.com almost immediately after I first discovered their site, referred in my bloglines from Darren on his Problogger.net blog last summer … but it wasn’t until mid January 2007 that I finally began to go around and actually add some code to a few of my sites and test it out.

@Peter (11): The vision of the hard working bee is explained pretty clear. Well the 103 still needs some explanation :-) @Daren: Great article. Some new aspects explained very nicely (as always) I have no idea how Christopher (the 103bees developer) is doing right now over there in Switzerland but I remember someone writing somewhere that 103bees was calculated for 3,000 users. By now I would be interested ho much are using the service. I find that a bundle of PMetrics (performancing.com), 103bees and HitTail show a great value for bloggers interested in their statistics. PMetrics gives the overall numbers, 103bees shows the top phrases, pages and keywords and HitTail is an inspiring tool to find subjects your readers are really interested in. PS: Darren, thanks for the link to my p.com article. I have added some comments about new 103bees aspects and features in the thread (and a review on HitTail).

Interesting tool, but can these Web apps get any stupider names? :))

After reading your comments I did a little more investigative work. Thanks for the push in the right direction! I’m just starting out and I want to do the best I can from the get go.

Also, Mike, it’s really cool that you take time to comment about your product. Keep up the good work and personalized communication efforts. It will do wonders for you and your reputation.

Thanks again.

Can we coin the “problogger effect”? 103bees.com is down and upgrading their servers.

103bees.com enjoys a huge demand from people all around the world, so we are currently moving the beehive (a.k.a. the webserver) to a more powerful location. On behalf of all bees we would like to apologize for any trouble this may cause! Please come back later.

I can’t check my stats, but I am impressed with the interface. Sometimes simplier is better. I am using Google Analytics in conjuction, just so I don’t get a break in my stats.

I like to think of HitTail as analyzing how people WILL find you, and nudging you to follow our suggestions. It’s kind of like analytics turned upside down.

We’re kind of sensitive about people calling us analytics… sniff, sniff. Anyway, analytics will help validate whether or not HitTailing is working for you. As usual, many thanks for the mention.

Leon – it’s free. No need to pay anything.

I think StatTraq is a very nice option for wordpress users in this field. It gives detailed information on search terms, lists most viewed posts and provides a lot of other stats which are very useful for people interested in SEO.

I’m using both for very different reasons. Statcounter is more of just straight up hit numbers. 103bees and hittail are more about analyzing how people are finding you.

I use Statcounter and I am wondering how 103Bees compares to the free version of Statcounter that I currently use?
I am relatively new to the blogging scene, but I am a marketer at heart, so I want to have the best stats available. Is it worth it to run both tools?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Kind regards,
Tyler

I signed up for 103bees and hittail yesterday. Hit tail does seem to show you what position you rank on the searches as long as you are in the top X (I think 10). They’re both pretty neat little tools.

I was surprised to see a post I wrote just a few days ago on a blog I created about a week ago made it to number 10 on a search term. Kind of neat. I didn’t even expect Google to have found my new site yet.

It seems interesting, but I only think it’s worth paying for if you’re a professional who’s really into SEO. For the rest of us, nah!
