For me, the most important info is on which sites my visitors leave my website…often this is caused by something which can be solved!

@Matt – I never used or saw the Wordpress.com statistics panel and I think after I heard your words, I shouldn’t! :p

@The Hip Zone – I tend to check my stats very often lately, I guess I ain’t as busy as you. I should, though.

Your first sentences of post made me laugh and those words remind me that old days when I was very new to sites and blogging. You know, it now take me several days to check all stats once a week. I am so bust with all other things that I almost always forget to check stats. More often it happen when someone only has a one blog or site and this gradually increase with increase in number of blogs ans sites.

Google Analytics is a really useful tool and in my opinion is better than the Wordpress.com alternative (although that is a more convenient tool).

I tend to glance at the Wordpress.com stats which are located in my Wordpress dashboard when I log on. If I see anything interesting I then check it out in more detail using Analytics which has a great interface.

This stops me wasting too much time worrying about how many returning visitors I have from Uzbekistan and lets me concentrate on writing.

Watching statistics is like watching download progress. It won’t speed up download but we all do it.
As for GA the best feature is to see what keywords bring traffic to your site.

Yeah I use google analytics, very good for stats and its free to. Plus its run by google as the name suggests which means the stats your are given are true to them selves. Good thing about analytics is it has a panel for traffic sources which shows you which piece of marketing is working best.

If you like analytics then you should check webmaster tools
