Google Analytics is great, and we're using it successfully at http://bit.ly/3aXUt. Nonetheless, this doesn't appear to track RSS hits, which I believe constitute the majority of our blog traffic.

Especially visitors geographic location, visitor trending and whats really cool is that it will differentiate against total visitors and unique visitors. Best of all it's free. Google analytics has everything you need in a paid analytic software. The only down side is that you don't know what google will do with the information.

The only issue is that Google Analytics doesn't pick up on all visistors and reports 10-15% less visitors.

It would be helpful to be able to see how many people are subscribing/reading via RSS, and what sort of traffic the feeds are generating to other parts of our web presence.
