I’m sure at least a few of you out there run a website or two. To me, having a Blackberry is essential to being a Webmaster. Not only does it mean I’m alerted, via email, immediately if a problem arises, but it also allows me to check on various issues from my browser (and that should be even cooler with the Bolt browser). A few weeks ago the folks from iWebTrack sent me their newest creation, an application for your BlackBerry which can check your Web stats. Hey, if it makes running my Website easier, I’m all ears.
As you can see in their demo, iWebTrack provides a ton of metrics which can give you insights about your site. This includes the basics: page views, visitors, search engine clicks, bounce rate, etc. As far as Web tracking serices go, it’s one of the more comprehensive ones I’ve seen.The application for BlackBerry gives you mobile access to these statistics. This can help you find out how your ad campaigns are going. It can also determine how users found your site, including information about mobile users. As I said, it’s a pretty feature-heavy service, and the application gives you a ton of capabilities.
Of course, there’s a cost. They’re offering a 30-day trial, which is fine and good, but after that it can get a bit expensive. If you get under 100,000 page views per month, you can use iWebTrack for free. If you get more than that, you’d better be making some serious scratch off your Website, because the monthly cost is $9.95 for every 20,000 page views above 100,000. Yikes. So why do I even bring this up? Because we’re all geeks here, and I figure that some people might be willing to pay for a comprehensive stat service.
