Looks decent. I just installed it. I'll play with it and then I'll report back.

I would try it out but I don't have a site up yet, so it's kinda pointless. I think it does look very promising. Gives you what you need and nothing you don't and looks easy to navigate. I like Google Analytics, but found it to be pretty cumbersome to navigate. I'll wait for your report.

I will check it out also. It looks awesome so far, though I am not showing any stats yet. The interface is nice and clean. :)

Seems like they cut out certain features if your site receives more than 50,000 hits a day.


This section is unavailable on days with more than 50,000 page views, because it is an expensive operation. Please visit the appropriate sections to see your top performing searches, pages, links, etc.

Oh well, there's still other cool features to mess with.

This may be a very stupid question, but PMetrics does work with any site right? I got to reading more about it and noticed that they show how to install it for Wordpress, TypePad, Blogger, and Myspace, but nothing else.

Yea, it works with any site (either JS or img must be allowed).

The noscript part of the code just places an image on the page which they can use for tracking (for sites like MySpace which disable JS).

Looks like they have a premium plan.



The $14.99/year (or $1.99/month if you choose) covers any site that has up to 10,000 average daily page views, which is 99% of the sites that use our service. Sites with higher traffic levels are priced at $1 per year per one thousand daily average page views. Example: A site with 50,000 daily page views would be $50/year.


I might go for it.

This seems good for small sites that would find it useful to track the paths of individual users etc, and can use the free version.

For sites with high traffic though, it doesn't seem to provide much more that the free Google Analytics, so its hard to justify the $1 per 1000 uniques cost. It seems to focus on individual visitor stats, which becomes less important when dealing with high traffic.

Why not just use free G-analytics with bloat of features? Just spend some time reading docs how to leverage its full potential.

You can start with user-friendly http://statcounter.com/ and move to GA when traffic goes up.

I had to pull it off my site, it's dragging it down. They're probably having growing pains.

Well that's really crappy news, sorry to hear that guys. I thought it would be really good. I guess it's back to Analytics.

I guess everyone else was having trouble with PMetrics!

http://performancing.com/

When you browse to the site you simply get a message saying

"Site off-line Performancing is currently moving server again. Unfortunately, the metrics are not up to scratch in our opinion- so we are disabling this feature. Please remove Pmetrics from your sites for now. When we do bring them back, we hope that they will up to the standard you all deserve. Thank you for your patience."

Just found Clicky (http://getclicky.com/).

Compare that to PMetrics (http://pmetrics.performancing.com/).

What's the deal?

"Sean from getClicky helped us put together pMetrics. They are essentially the same product, though with pMetrics you get the benefit of the Performancing community and planned plugins/widgets."


Looks like the guy from clicky helped create the script, and has created his own site.



"I am very happy with this relationship. Clicky is going strong but getting our product promoted by a much larger company and in front of that many more eyeballs is exciting!"

Actually all 3rdparty(external) stats services are all about spying on your best converting keywords.
Google got a bargain with free analytics offering, but it knows everything about us anyways...

I love all these baseless conspiracy theories.
