The web can be used in a variety of ways to make contact with users. Contact with the
expert, high level user may be most fruitful using web forums and discussion groups, in
which users and producers can exchange views and information. In other contexts it may
be instructive to think in terms of customers rather than users. Commercial websites
which are trying to find out what their customers need and what their views are of the
products on offer will ask visitors to provide brief details of themselves and to complete
on-line surveys about their views of the service provided – for example, ‘did you find
what you were looking for?’. We feel that there is an obvious carry-over to the purveyors
of statistics, and commend such techniques to producers.

As a publisher on the Web or a website creator, there is nothing better than writing a new post or launching a new feature and then watching the traffic come rolling in. The problem is that the standard web analytics suites leave users waiting several hours, at best, before reporting on the traffic. Google Analytics provides a tremendous amount of depth and analytical capability, but the data that it collects from a website is not available immediately or even after a short delay. It could be hours before the data from a given website turns up on Google Analytics. The legacy analytics products allow you to see aggregate counts of hits, visitors, page views, and other statistics over a 24-hour period. However, they do very little to give a website creator a picture of what is happening on the site at any given moment.
If a website is interacting with users in realtime, providing constant updates and prompting for responses from the users on any number of different platforms, the analytics package had better be able to keep up. This chapter looks at a couple of new analytics packages that allow for monitoring your web traffic in realtime, and then we’re going to dive in and create a small analytics application that can be deeply integrated with your site.
