It’s tough to compete with the vast resource of Google but Piwik is an open source solution that offers some basic functionality for Web site analytics. If you are interested in inexpensive Web analytics solutions and don’t want your site data shared with Google then Piwik could be a viable platform.

 

 

Good news! Tip of The Spear Blog is now running Piwik…it took about 10 minutes to install. Copying the JavaScript code over to the Blogger tool was pretty easy. 

 

Not bad for free and looks very hackable.
