What are some of your favorite free tools to make websites better?

Piwik is a downloadable, open source (GPL licensed) web analytics software program. It provides you with detailed reports on your website visitors: the search engines and keywords they used, the language they speak, your popular pages… and so much more.

Piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics.

Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program that you download and install on your own webserver. At the end of the five minute installation process you will be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy and paste this tag on websites you wish to track (or use an existing plugin to do it automatically for you).

What makes Piwik unique from the competition:

1. Piwik’s features are built inside plugins: you can add new features and remove the ones you don’t need. If you are a developer, you can easily build your own plugins!
2. you own your data: because Piwik is installed on your server, the data is stored in your own database and you can get all the statistics using open APIs (publishing the data in many formats: xml, json, php, csv)
3. (NOW AVAILABLE!!!) the user interface is fully customizable: you can drag and drop the widgets you want to display and create a report especially tailored to you!

Give it a try

• you can try the online demo that shows you the latest Piwik release. Please note that Piwik is a constant work in progress and some user interface parts are being updated as we speak!

• to install Piwik, download the latest release, upload it on your webserver (you need at least PHP 5.1 and a Mysql database), and open your browser: the installation process is automatic and takes less than 5 minutes.

Embed your stats in your website!

You can very easily embed your graphs in your blog or website or dashboard:

• Last 30 days visits
• Browsers families - bar chart
• Countries - pie chart

Want to know more?

Piwik is under development and the core team is growing. We have big plans for Piwik and we are happy you want to know more! We often post news on the official blog (subscribe to the rss feed).

If you want to help and make piwik better, you are welcome. You can, for example, tell us by email if you want to work on translations or beta-testing.

If you are a developer, you can definitely help. One of our main mid term objective is to make it easy for external developers to build plugins for Piwik. Help is also welcome if you want to work on the core of Piwik: there are lots of interesting problems to solve, new features to implement and bugs to fix.

The developer zone contains all the resources to get started. The roadmap will tell you where we are going to. You can report a bug or work on some of the existing bug reports. For any technical questions you should ask on the piwik-hackers mailing list ; we will be happy to help.

Thanks OpenX!

Piwik has been made possible thanks to OpenX, the open source adserver!

Note: piwik is the new and improved version of phpMyVisites

Alexa ranking and SEO tips

Hello guys Alexa Rank is very important especially to sponsoredreviews because in sponsored your blog is being rank up with link pop (yahoo search), Technorati and Alexa. If you have a high rank in those three I have mention your bid has a big chance to be approved by advertiser. All I can say it is so wonderful if you have a big rank on Alexa.

Just follow this four steps so that your Alexa Rank will increase greatly.

1. Let Alexa crawl on your site. This is rather a good basic step when starting to build your own website or blog. Simply, this is by means of informing Alexa that your blog is existing and active. It’s like adding your site to Alexa’s listing. To begin adding your website to Alexa, click on this link, Crawl My Site at Alexa. At the bottom portion of the page, type your blog’s main URL with the ‘/’ slash at the end, then press "Crawl My Site".

2. Install the Alexa Toolbar in your PC. This is Alexa’s tool for you to right away see an open page’s Alexa rank. Right now I’m using Firefox as my browser, and with Alexa Toolbar installed, any opened website’s Alexa rank is viewed at the bottom right part of the browser. For Internet Explorer, I think the stats can be seen in the upper part. Also, this tool can be helpful, or is required for a better step of increasing your Alexa rank (which I will discuss in the next tip). To download and install this toolbar, click on this link, Download Alexa Toolbar.

3. Register at UpMyRank.com and Install their free AutoSurf software. Well, this is definitely the most effective way to increase your Alexa rank. Since this is a website from Alexa, and with their software to help you more about improving your stats, this is already quite reliable. More instructions and steps on how to use this is right through this registration link, Register at UpMyRank.

4. Finally, post some reviews about Alexa (like the one I’m doing now). They do appreciate being talked about, on how great their offers are. This would most likely give them the idea that your site is helping them improve. So, they’d also think that they should give you for doing so.

I hope this 4 steps will greatly increase your website and blog Alexa Rank. Have a nice day to all!
