Google Analytics does not provide that info, but MyBlogLog does (only the top 10 for the freebie, you'll have to pay for the premium service).

I logged into the Performancing site, but I don't see a link to "dashboard". I do see my user name, though, in the right sidebar, and there's some menu items underneath my user name, but none of them say dashboard. I'm using Mac Firefox. Is that the problem? That takes me a step closer than I was yesterday!

But I have no idea how to logon to the pMetrics dashboard. I know it's an amateur question, but do I access the pMetrics data through my WP site, or do I have to log on to the Performancing site? Nobody's reading the forums and answering questions at Performancing.com. I installed pMetrics on my WordPress site, and activated it in the dashboard.

Their PDF version is great, but all I would like to see (in CSV) is: - new visitors - returning visitors - (total visits can be calculated) - visitors from search engines - total pageviews (the result is given in page/visit, which you can calculate) With google analytics, you need to extract 3 separate CSV reports to get this simple report in a non-PDF version. Then you can create a macro to consolidate it. Thoughts? My pet peeve with google analytics is that their basic dashboard results cannot be easily sent as a CSV file to compare past results.

So far I have been using feedburner and google analytics but neither are perfect.

I haven't care much about statistic tool since Google Analytics is enough for me for my current level. But, I'm agree that 10 site to monitor for 50 bucks a year is not expensive. Since it have so many feature to track our blog/site, I will consider it for my future use. Thanks for the information. This is a nice review, Char.

I downloaded it and assumed I was supposed to use it as a WordPress plugin. WordPress knows about it, but it doesn't show up as a widget. Am I on the wrong track? Thanks for any help you can give me.
