4 Alternatives to Google Analytics

Google Analytics is the most famous tool for analyzing web statistics. This Google service is available from 2005 but it appears to be getting a strong competition because Google Analytics use basic tools and contain a lot of information to prevent users from finding easy shortcuts for higher ranking.

Chiefly, the advantage of these alternatives is a wide range of data, which the services are capable of providing their customers. Website and business owners can benefit from the valuable insights for better user understanding, content optimization, and attaining higher site ranking. For instance, optimizing the website for mobile users to get more viewers and starting social networking to get more visitors.
