The problem of server and application level stats is that they are fairly easy to implement and attractive, but they're hideously inaccurate. First you have to ignore robot traffic, then you have to accurately sessionise, then build the reporting interface, which must be very powerful if it is to be useful. Basic stats might keep people happy, but they won't actually help them run a better site.
I ran a (tiny) analytics startup for 18 months and I would definitely conclude it makes much more sense to leave it to the big boys! Accuracy is very difficult to test and verify and analytics as a whole takes on a life of it's own compared to the work of developing the application itself. This is a wheel that has been pretty well invented already. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
