Hey Michael, thanks for the great list. Just wanted to say that I started using crazyegg recently and let me tell you it’s been a great tool. It’s incredible analytics to give you a detailed behavioral analysis of where your website visitors are clicking. Giving you an eagle eye view on how your web visitors are using your website. Website grader has always been a favorite of mine. I’ve been using website grader for sometime now and love it. Thanks for the list, take care

Michael,

Another rockin post!

I agree with you about how testing and tracking can be boring. In the beginning actually it can be depressing as you are trying to grow your site and you see the stats you don’t want to see.

But over time patterns will show up, and you will start to get a feel for what will work better. But of course, those new things need to be tested also.

Oh, and i definitely have to give market samurai a try! Haven’t gotten my hands on it yet.

Alexa is a tool I use all the time. Not so much to look at web traffic because it sucks for that, but for their search analytics. I find that looking at the search analytics of Alexa gives a very good indication of where my competition is getting their traffic from and how much their getting…

Market Samari = Mad Tool!

Hi Mike
My first visit to your site as it was recommended to me. Being new to blogging I am trying to learn as much as I can before I monetise my site. I know we are not meant to be checking out stats too often but must admit I check mine several times a day! Got a pleasant surprise last night when I saw my traffic had taken a leap up the chart. Then when I looked deeper it was cos some kind bloggers had stumbled me. I had heard of this but don’t know about it only that it works 🙂
I have some of the tools I am using as recommended to me by experienced bloggers. Will have to check the rest out. Thanks for all the useful info here.
