Web App: Reinvigorate - Site tracking and stats

February 9th, 2007

Let’s begin with this: Reinvigorate is great!

Now let’s backtrack a little bit. Reinvigorate used to be a very useful website tracking tool. Most importantly, it was free. At this point I’m gonna start making things up. Blatantly. Then it went down and many wept for there wasn’t a great tool to see live statistics anymore! I really don’t know what happened, but I think the demand grew, fast, and they couldn’t keep up (?), so it went down hard.

But rejoice! It is back! And apparently it’s better than ever! Ok, enough with the exclamation points! (whoops.) The new tool has a plethora of useful statistics and has very easy implementation. Just pop some JavaScript in your website and you’re ready to go. The ease of tracking multiple sites is great and there’s no limit on the number of sites you want to monitor.

This couldn’t have been released at a better time too. I’ve switched hosts recently to (mt) and it doesn’t have Awstats implemented, a tool I used to use at my old host. In fact, all (mt) offers is Urchin stats, which is so confusing! If you’ve ever used Google Analytics then you know what I’m talking about. I briefly considered Mint, but I couldn’t justify spending money (even at a that nice price point of $30) on reading some stats. Sorry Mr. Inman, maybe in the future.

This beautiful tool that is Reinvigorate is currently in beta testing, so I guess I kind of.. lied above when I said it’s out. Still, I signed up not even a week ago for a beta invite and have already got it, so give it a try. Good luck!

    Thanks for the write-up. I never knew how interesting stats could be until my site started to show up in other places.

    I’m still waiting for my beta invite. I’ve been using AWStats and Google Analytics, and while I like them, I would like more real time information. I think a breakdown of the big hitters, including MINT and Reinvigorate may make an appearance on my site in the future.

    Great post Dimitry. I noted reinvigorates return on my blog as well. It’s really a great stat system. Now I just need more readers so I can see some useful stats!

    I too need more readers. For the moment, FeedBurner’s stats do well by me. Which pages, how many visitors, where they came from, where they went and roughly when they came. What more could a guy need? (I realize the answer is “a lot” and will probably try Reinvigorate soon.)
