Alternative to Google Analytics
-
.Hi,
I was wondering if there is any alternative to Google Analytics (GA)? I was speaking to a SEO person who mentioned there are some analytics programs that give more info, was just wondering i that was true.
How come some SEO's recommend staying way from GA nad their Webmaster tools?

There are a whole bunch of alternatives - all with their pro's, cons and prices. Here's the ones I can think of from the top of my head:
ChartBeat
GetClicky
Kissmetrics
Woopra
Reinvigorate
Piwik
Open Web Analytics
Mint
GoSquared
StatCounter -
Hi Jim,
The're are some alternatives, although they don't support all the features you have in Google Analytics. But still, sometimes I figure myself how often do you use all the features in Google Webmaster Tools.
However, some of the alternatives are: GetClicky (mostly if you need realtime data, and I wouldn't recommend it for bigger sites (10k+ visits) a day as it's quite a pain in the ass to report data. Piwik is a server based Analytics tool and from what I've heard it's pretty good, as it also complies. The last is Adobe Sitecatalyst.
Hope this helps shine a light on some GA alternatives!

Google showing different links in SERPs
Google search results are showing my site links in both URLs, "mydomain.com" and "https://mydomain.com". However the one with https is showing a favicon, and the other one is not. So i wanna keep the https one and remove the other one. I went to GSC to submit "mydomain.com" for removal and it said that URL will be deleted in ALL of its variations.So how do i delete the "mydomain.com" links? Should i just index the ones with https again? Would that work? Someone suggested me to do 301 redirect on all pages that are being displayed twice. But i am not sure if i need to do that since i am using squarespace, and both of the links lead to the same page?

Search results vary in chrome vs other browsers even in Incognito mode: Google's stand?
Hi all, We use incognito mode or private browsing to check the Actual results which are not impacted by previous history, location (sometimes), etc. Even we browse this way, we can see the different search results. Why would this happen? What's Google's stand on this? What is the actual way to browse to get the unbiased results for certain search queries? I have experienced that Chrome will rank our own websites bit higher compared to the other browsers even in incognito mode. Thanks

Will google believe my website has plagiarised if I publish news that is published on a newswire?
I use newswires to publish press releases or articles for clients. Almost all are published on one site such as PRWeb and picked up by newspapers/publishers. Each of these pieces reference the source as PRWeb (for example). Each press release is then added to the company website. Do I run the risk of search engines believing this to be plagiarised if not referenced to the 'original source' being PR Web? Thanks

Pros and Cons Google Site Search
I'm having a hard time finding the actual pros and cons of implementing Google Site Search on a website. Thoughts? Any data on bounce rate of internal SERP because UX doesn't look like the website? I know you can customize, but most examples I've seen still look pretty different from the stie's native style. Any other cons? Data issues, etc?

Googl travel dates
I have just noticed, while checking where our hotel clients rank for certain keywords, and noticed a panel on the left hand side called Travel dates. There was a check in and check out option which could be populated manually or by using a drop down calendar. But there's no submit button or anything like that. What is this panel for, and can any benefit be had from it, because from what I can see it doesn't actually do anything (unless it's not displaying properly on my computer?
