Google Analytics for externally hosted projects
April 28th, 2008
After seeing that even a simple plugin for another project can draw some hits when linked from a single page, I grew curious and decided to enable Google Analytics for two externally hosted projects: GitStats and ViewSVN.
According to BerliOS statistics, the latter seems to have drawn in 800-1800 hits each month for the last month, so the results should prove interesting. One good thing about Analytics is that it does not track spiders and other non-humans as those usually don’t run javascripts.
I’d really prefer to have this data in my own hands, rather than Google’s, though. Aren’t there any open source replacements for Google Analytics, yet?
