I installed Analytics a month ago and yesterday I tried both at the same time on the same page to compare for a couple of days. Things are really different, even the number of visits!

Excellent article! I've been using statcounter since 2006, but a friend recommend taking a look at "Google analytics." Judging from this article, Google analytics is more oriented toward business websites. I only have a simple website and I think Statcounter is good enough for me. Thanks for this article!

This article is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much! I am thinking about switching to Analytics from StatCounter now.

Statcounter is awesome, I have been using it for years and although I have also got Google Analytics and Woopra (which are both great) I always seem to check Statcounter first. It is especially good for tracking the 'exit links' for Adsense adverts and you can see which ads are performing well in Blogger. I would recommend 'statcounter' everytime.... its great! http://widescreenstuff.blogspot.com/

The best thing about statcounter is the real time stats feature. In Analytics, it is difficult to see the exact time of every visit. Whereas in statcounter you can see the exact time and date for each visit.

True, Statcounter is simpler to use and it is easy to extract information. Google Analytics is much more complex. Due to this reason I was forced to use Statcounter on my site even though I had integrated Google Analytics in it.

Yes, I agree that Google Analytics is definitely a power-packed bundle of features. However, the fact about Statcounter that beats Analytics is simplicity. It really takes a while for a Webmaster to make real good use of the features that Analytics has to offer, whereas, Statcounter is usable immediately after you got it up with your Website.

Hi,

I am also very interested in seeing comparisons with Statcounter. I have been using Statcounter for several years and am unable to find a better analytic program at the same or better price. On top of everything Statcounter does have great customer support. Paid or unpaid.

Thank you for taking the time to make this comparison for me. I believe this comparison is still valid today.

Make it a Great Day,

Dawn

Hello, I was very interested to read your post on Google Analytics vs Statcounter. I've been using Statcounter for quite some time, and for me one of the best features is the ability to see exactly where a visitor has gone in my site. I have now just been able to use Google analytics, and I can not find this feature anywhere. They list all pages visited, but they don't seem to put it in an order that mirrors the visitors movements, but rather, they list the pages in alphabetical order, making it a little difficult to work out the visitors exact movements and why. Is there a method of doing this in analytics that I have overlooked? Cheers Dean
