    Counting visitors per day

    Hi,

    Is there a simple way in umbraco to count and show for website visitors counters : unique visits per day, total visits etc.

    We have a Google analytics account - should we use this for this task.

    Or any other third party services?

    I'm new to this task, so any tip is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Google Analytics will be fine for what you're wanting to do, there's a few other services out there that do the same thing, but there's a reason that people can only remember GA :P.

    There's an awesome Google Analytics package for Umbraco too: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/google-analytics-for-umbraco

    Hi!

    Afaik, there is no built-in tool in umbraco to count the number of visitors on your site for each day.

    But if you want, you could use any third-party services that you prefer. Or you can build your own counter in .NET that logs each user's IP-address to get unique numbers.

    Hi Patrik,

    If you just want to "know" how many people have visited your site, then yea, google analytics would be your best option.

    If you are wanting to display that info on your site though, you may want to look into creating something yourself. There are lots of examples via google on how to create a hit counter (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=asp.net+hit+counter) so I'd start their and just create a simple user control macro to display the results.

    Thank you for answers.

    As for GoogleAnalytics - is it possible to show counter for recent day? I think you can view statistics for the past day only..

    I'll try to make a user control then.

    Marius.

    Google analytics always have a delay of 24 hours for accurate information. any information you get earlier is "incomplete"
