Mint stats

Never got round to get Shaun Inman’s pre­vi­ous stat tool run­ning, but recently I dis­cov­ered he had some­thing bet­ter cook­ing: Mint.

The demo was (and still is) dis­abled due to…well, suc­cess, so I just went for ‘pur­chase’ straight away, eager to finally get an overview of the traf­fic to this site.

You can learn a lot from read­ing your log files, but this is damn well designed, has all the infor­ma­tion I want — and was a breeze to set up. At $30 it’s not cheap, but so far it’s well worth it. An evolv­ing plug-in API should keep Mint fresh.

On the down­side: It turns out — again– that I’m not famous. And that half the traf­fic is still com­ing from horny gay peo­ple from Spain. Which would be fine by me if they found what they were look­ing for. I doubt it, though…
