Measure Map- Well worth the wait

I finally received my invite to the private alpha test of Measure Map. I got it all set-up last night and it only took a couple of minutes. I’ve been using; or trying to use Google Analytics for the past few weeks. But, honestly I can’t really trust it at this point. Some days it works and some days it doesn’t. With Measure Map up and running, I’ve been very impressed so far. The cool thing (one of) about Measure Map is that it’s tailored for Blog sites. It gives you stats on Visitors, Links, Comments and posts. You can really learn a lot about what’s going on, on your site with measure map. I was going to try and do a comparison between Google Analytics and Measure Map but honestly it would be like comparing apples to oranges. Google Analytics is really a analytic application that’s built for a ecommerce site or anything other than a blog site. Don’t get me wrong, you could certainly set-up Google Analytics to get the same kind of data that you’re getting with Measure Map but it would take a long, long, time. I wish that Google Analytics was around when I was doing my ecommerce company. It would have been a great FREE tool for us. Anyway, back to Measure Map; If you have a blog and are interested in who’s reading your posts and why. Then I highly recommend getting Measure Map. I’ll do a more in-depth post about Measure Map after I’ve given it some time to collect stats and for me to dig a little deeper.
