Reinvigorate is great. I’m using it 3 months ago and it rules.

I’ve noticed inaccuracies in Google Analytics as well with two separate sites. At work (large corporation) there is a significant difference between our server logs and what Analytics says. And on my blog there is a difference between WordPress statistics, Analytics, and server logs.

In general my experience has been that the server logs provide the largest numbers which may be a side effect of users disabling javascript or somehow not downloading the urchin.js file. It’s caused me to use Google Analytics as one of many reference points and as representative sample of what’s happening on my sites.

I’ve been using Google Analytics from the get go but I find it very unreliable. For some of my sites its numbers are way off from my server logs. I can’t trust it anymore. Is this a symptom that may occur on any javascript based traffic stats app? Has anyone here experienced the same inconsistent behavior?

I have been using it and like it direct & no fuzz interface. Another one worth using is performancing pmetrics

I use both. Just didn’t remove Google Analytics after implementing Reinvigorate. Google Analytics is pretty powerful but Reinvigorate has these nice features as you described (“name-tagging”, paths, etc.) that make it a bit more appealing for me.

Used Reinvigorate years ago (it was free) and then it just disappeared. Looks like it’s been rebirthed with a lot of new features.

Looks interesting, but I went to the site, looks like they are still in beta, and not currently accepting sign ups. I submitted my email to be updated when they are accepting. Too bad, they get a great write up like this, and they aren’t going to be able to take advantage of the additional traffic.

It would be worthwhile to include Mint in any future comparisons: http://haveamint.com

Hi Mike. Thanks for the post. I signed up for the beta – look forward to getting an invite.

I’m currently Google Analytics and Urchin 5. Has anyone looked into tools like Analytics and Reinvigorate for the ability to upload old log files in order to analyze past traffic data? One of the barriers for switching to a new tool is having to wait awhile for enough data to collect to get a good sense of the reports. It would be great to be able to upload old log files to populate the report with past data. I’d certainly opt into a paid upgrade option for such a tool if I could get this ability. Anyone else?
