Automattic Stats for self-hosted WordPress « Andy Skelton
The new Automattic Stats plugin is available for download. It lets self-hosted WordPress bloggers use the exact same traffic metrics system we provide to WordPress.com users. It tracks post and page views, referrers, search terms, and clicks on your external links. It takes moments to install if you already have a WordPress blog and a WordPress.com API key. And it’s totally free.
Switched from StatTraq and Google Analytics to this plugin. It does a far better job than either Google Analytics or StatTraq at providing blog-specific stats like hits per post. Neither GA nor StatTraq provides that info accurately, and this service (hosted by WordPress.org) also avoids the database load of self-hosted stats packages, which have always eventually had to be “zeroed out” of my PAIR-hosted service.
