Alternatives to google analytics

[ito21000]

What are people using instead? After reading some stories here, I'm afraid of big G watching over me. I know they're watching anyway but would having my sites connected by analytics cause any more attention to be drawn? Thanks. btw I tried to search but I get this error everytime.

There's also Piwik and Open Web Analytics if you want to go for free, open source and self hosted analytics software.

Using getclicky myself, though I do extract info and send it off to big-G anyway.

I have to say I prefer "open wen analytics" over Piwik, way better info and more intuitive.

Get Clicky is cool to be able to spy on your site in real time if you're into that sort of thing but I can spend my time better doing other things. In my estimation
that is Get Clickys only advantage.

The bounce rate and time-on-site calculation is far more accurate. Clicky tracks actual time viewing the page by pinging the client every 10 seconds when the window/tab is actively being viewed. Any viewing less than 30 seconds is a bounce.

You can see how more informative this is than calculating bounces and time-on-site totals at the beginning of each new page view.
