Thanks Tess,

Like I said, I know that method and I don't trust it or like it. I get different % on different pages and it's a pain to have to click on each blog post/page to see what people clicked on that page rather than just seeing a summary of all of the links clicked on the entire site.

Is there another way?

Well, I need to do some more digging. But as I am digging on the yahoo site builder, there is a view pages dedicated to site statistics, access logs, and it generating reports. Maybe this will give me some detailed information. I am going to have to keep digging and see what I discover.

You can always install something like Sitemeter that just lists clicks in and clicks out by link.
I don't know if there's a similar readout on Google Analytics, I've never looked for one.

Yeah, that's what I thought I might have to do. meh...one more thing to think about.

I'm surprised they don't have something like this. I find it really useful...

From my experience you can trust the stats Google Analytics provides it's not 100% accurate but it's good enough

Honestly it's less than than the need to visit every. single. page in order to see the results instead of just looking at a report. And there's no easy way to do a side-by-side comparison of different links.

For example, the blog carnivals. I'd love to be able to look at the clicked-on links in a list so I can see which get the most attention and see if there's a pattern. But there's no way to do that unless I go to each carnival page, manually enter the data into excel and then sort it. What a waste.

I just find it very inconvenient, bordering on useless. But then, I don't learn from images I learn from text so...

Everything else is laid out in a list, I don't see why they did this part differently.

Google analytics is good, but if you would like to track on real time, you can use http://www.hittail.com, it is free and also helpful for long tail keywords.

can you suggest any real time web analytics tool? as for as I know, google analytics provides a delayed analysis by 12 hours.

I tried installing google analytics about 6 months ago but got frustrated and gave up. This should help! Thanks, Hamid!
