Most of the website owners and bloggers rely on Google
Analytics for insights regarding the traffic on their webpages. But Google
Analytics is not the only option. There are other tools online which you can
use to get insights into the traffic behavior on your website. These tools are
also free and can be easily used. Below is the list of these tools which you
would like to use or test.
Open Web Analytics
Open Web Analytics is one such tool which is an open source
platform. You can install directly onto your server (or your Web host’s
server). Although it will take some extra time to install, the program will
insure that you keep all of your website’s analytics data. The biggest benefit of
using Open Web Analytics is that it is absolutely free to use, own and
distribute among all of your Web domains under the General Public License
Version 2. The website provides you
complete instructions to install it.
Piwik
The Piwik Analytics software is also powerful tool to get
true insights into your audience. It is also an open source application. You
can host it on your own server easily. It is offered in more than 30 different
languages. Piwik is a powerful tool that lets you know the user behavior on
your web platforms. Through Piwik you get basic user statistics, real-time

Clicky
Third in line is Clicky which is completely free for up to
