We love Google Analytics at Blend, it plays a big part in our online marketing service that we offer our clients. As good as Google Analytics is, it does not show live data… who is on the site there and then, that’s where Clicky comes in.
Clicky’s main premise is to offer detailed, beautiful looking statistics that are easy to digest and live. Clicky is free to websites with less than 3,000 page impressions a day - great for small businesses. Head over to Clicky and register for a free account. You will need to place the code on your website to activate, let us know if you need help with this.
We would recommend that you still keep Google Analytics in place, especially if you use an outside agency for processing this data, which we do for our clients.

Google Analytics is a free web statistics service provided by, you guessed it Google. Businesses of all sizes use this fantastic web application to monitor their site traffic, taking advantage of a free stats package that would usually costs hundreds of pounds a month.
One of the first things I would recommend after you have setup your Google Analytics account is to make sure that you exclude your company’s network (IP address) from the statistics. Doing so will ensure that your statistics are ‘true’, and not manipulated by internal staff visiting the site from day to day.
