Just had a peek at my analytics for the first time in months. I’m amazed to find that my articles on iOS Diagnostics and getting the lego RCX to work on OS X are still my most popular content!

Aaron Parecki I use and enjoy Piwik. Real-time analytics is great and the API can be really useful too. In fact I don’t use it as much as I’d like to.
A tip for users of #piwik #analytics — if you want to use campaigns, but don't want to clutter things up with bothersome URL parameters (which would, for example, make a QR Code a **lot** bigger), just set up a server redirect/alias that redirects from some shortened URL e.g redirect: waterpigs.co.uk/d4/ to waterpigs.co.uk/lutherie/catalogue/dulcimers/D4?pk_campaign=ads&pk_kwd=catalogue (Real example) then use the shorter URL on your actual advertising . It's a bit of a cheat, but works nicely. #webdesign #server #http #apache
