[New Technology Learning] Google Analytics vs. piwik

Piwik http://piwik.org/1 Project Description
Piwik is an open-source (GPL authorized) network analysis software. It can be downloaded locally to generate detailed reports for website visitors, such as what search engines visitors use, what keywords they use, what languages they use, and which pages are most popular, of course there are many other features.
Piwik aims to replace Google Analytics.
One of piwik's advantages lies in "My website is my master ". Other similar services (such as Google Analytics) need to be installed on a remote server, while piwik can be installed on a local server. The installation process is simple and easy to use.
All functions of the program are implemented by plug-ins. In this way, you can add new plug-ins to customize the piwik that suits you best. Many plug-ins have been developed in the community. If you have special needs, you can develop your own plug-ins to process data in different ways to precisely meet your needs.
Why did you start this project?
Many people are eager to save sensitive information, such as network login data, for security and privacy considerations. This is one of the reasons for the establishment of the piwik project. Another reason is that we think we should develop a more creative way to process the data. So piwik appeared. 2 piwik installation environment requirements http://www.sanliangfan.com/archives/209.html

Vs piwik vs mint: http://binarytendencies.com/google-analytics-vs-piwik/ Conclusion
GA: Google Analytics
Looks like piwik and mint beats ga when it comes to size, but GA beats them both when comparing memory usage. if we disregard memory the winner will have to be mint, which adds 6-7 kb less overhead than the other two.
On a separate note, an obvious advantage of piwik and mint OVER Ga is that you are hosting all your statistics on your own server, so the privacy conscious can sleep good at night. Google Analytics

This article is biased towards piwik.Franz: If you need access to the raw data, if you do not want to give Google all your data, etc. piwik looks like a really good alternative. praharika:
You are correct, piwik is for those who have their own website and not for bloggers and Google pages.
Joku:
I'm mostly concerned about accuracy. while I just found out about piwik 5 minutes ago, I'm curious if it is any way more accurate than analytics due to the fact that analytics is 100% dependent on JavaScript. (I'm making the bold assumption that piwik is Php based .) ------------------------------------------------------------------- risky installation (PHP version and extension) and W

"Channel Visualization" report description visitors reach the target page through channels
.
The "registration successful" page can be used as a target page.
"Channel" refers to the steps defined by you for visitors to reach this target.
The destination of a channel must be a target defined by you.
The channel visualization report can help the website administrator answer the following questions: ** What do visitors give up the channel? ** Is it because the website design element or a specific page leaves visitors from the website? ** Which website paths can contribute the most to conversion? The most frequently accessed content report can answer the following questions: ** which webpages are most visited by visitors? ** How long will they stay on each page? ** Which page has the largest revenue? 2> "Access depth" and "Access duration" reports

What is "Access depth "?
The visitor's access depth and access duration are two important indicators. If a visitor only visits one page of the website and leaves, it means a loss of opportunity. On the contrary, the longer the visitor visits, the more useful information the website provides to him.

What is a conversion? ** "Search engine marketing" collects statistics on the marketing results of search engines, including keywords used by visitors to search for your website.
Category 2: Content optimization ** the "content effects" report provides access to all pages installed with tracking code. You can search, sort, and segment the reports across groups. ** "Navigation analysis" helps you understand the access paths of visitors on your website. The website overlay diagram shows the clicks of each link on each webpage.
** "Target and channel processing" helps you analyze whether your website can effectively convert visitors? Or can it effectively guide visitors to find the information they want? This may be a download, registration, or purchase. By setting goals and channels, you will have a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of your website. 3 negative news Google Analytics may be illegal in Germany
