Woopra is a new web analytics program, as described in the article above, that tracks your web statistics and traffic in a new way. It is currently in beta and a few have received private invitations for beta testing. It will be released in the next few months and available to all.

LTPact was great fun and I learned a lot, of which I barely touched upon here in this article. I do hope you learned a little from my experience, which is part of the fun of blogging about such events.

I hadn’t looked into categories yet, but they appear to show the subdirectories of my root site. I’ve currently got my blog divided up using WordPress-MU, with separate blogs for each main topic on which I write, and Woopra neither accepts those sub-directoried blogs as sites (so I can’t set up separate accounts for them), nor does it pick them up under directories/categories. I actually got the idea of running things this way from one of your articles where you talked about over-using pages (which I did when I first started a WordPress blog about 3-4 years ago) and you asked why all of the content couldn’t be blog entries. I began thinking about this and decided I’d try it, so I use MU to separate out topics, thereby enabling readers to subscribe to just the topics they want.

May not keep it that way forever, but it’s been an interesting experiment Does make tracking hard; neither Google Analytics nor Woopra like it, and I’ve discovered that AWStats is horribly inaccurate. WPStats continues to work well for me though ^_^

I think my brief article on analytics programs goes live on Monday, July 7.

First, how fun was that? Looked like a good time was had by all…

Second, there is so much information in this post I am going to have to read it 5 times before I can grasp it.

And finally what is Woopra?

Woopra will be handling subdomains soon, but right now they are considered a separate website, so if you get approved for more than one site during the beta testing, you can have specific subdomains tracked. As for subdirectories, Woopra tracks them as “categories” which is better than most other analytic programs. Have you checked out that new feature? I look forward to your article!

I’ll have an article coming out in a week or two about different tracking solutions I’ve tried, but the bottom line is that only WPStats really gets the job done with my structure. Nothing else handles subdirectories correctly, and subdomains just aren’t worth setting up to me.
