What Stats Service Do You Use?

At work I’m a stats whore. In fact my background is in maths. Although I left University with an Economics degree, I actually got my place on a maths course although I changed within weeks when I worked out that I wasn’t nerdy enough to study maths at degree level!

When I had more time to devote to my blogging stats I used to pour over them nearly everyday. But, now that I have to be more disciplined about my daily blogging time I now use Google Analytics, because it gives me a good quick snapshot that seems accurate.

However drilling down to find the detail with Google Analytics can be hard as it only lists the top 5 referrals etc. Ajay’s been raving about Reinvigorate (pictured), which is still in beta. I’ve applied for a beta account, but in the interim I’ve reinstalled Mint. I removed Mint when my old server was struggling, but hopefully now on the new server everything will be ok.

Update: I’ve temporarily made access to Mint public if you want to see what it can do out of the box. There are many other plugins, but I haven’t got around to adding them yet.  The numbers for yesterday are only for a few hours and my server went down for a bit.

While I’m waiting for my reinvigorate details, I just wanted to find out how everyone else is getting their stats. What stats service or app do you use and why?
