The opposite of not using Google Analytics is NOT use these new minimalist analytics tools. I'm so sick of seeing this narrative! There are plenty of mature analytics tools that do a thorough job for a small amount of money. For the curious, I've been using Clicky.com. I don't see how using tools that give you only an iota of information makes any sense.
- input_sh 6y agoThe author says that he doesn't need a majority of the features Google Analytics has: > I also realised that I wasn’t even using up to 10% of the features provided by the service. For the most part, all I cared about is the number of visitors, page views, and where visitors are coming from (search engines, social media e.t.c.) so all the other metrics that Google collects are not important for me. But I agree, not everyone shares that thought. I believe that Matomo is the only real self-hosted alternative for more advanced analytics.
