    While Google Analytics is a great for so many things, I’ve always found it lacking around the referral department. It’s wonderful at its namesake, analyzing traffic, but doesn’t really help when you want to know what people are saying about your idea, product, or blog post.

    Enter GetClicky. For over a year now this has been one of my favorite web apps. Its simple interface and up-to-the-minute information never fail to satisfy my buzz-hunger.

    At a glance, you see everything you want: biggest referrers, most popular content, and a user summary. What it excels at is letting you know what content is popular and why. It even has RSS feeds to this end, as well as a ‘digg spy’ style feed of visitors. See who is coming to your site, and from where, as it happens.

    Take their free trial for a spin and see what you think.

      So do you use both Google Analytics and Get Clicky side-by-side, or does Clicky provide enough features to replace the need for GA?

      GA is much stronger than Clicky in many respects—I think running them side by side is not a crazy idea.
