Y’know, there’s a large gap in the web analytics market, and my work site is smack in the middle of it. There are two problems - one, the site has acres of legacy code, frames, and other interesting bits of functionality, which cause Clicktracks to be completely unable to make sense of it. The second is the sheer size of our log files, which, if we put them all together, would exceed ten gigs a day in normal circumstances. So even when we tried incremental tinkering with Clicktracks, it took hours to re-analyse the data for each change.
We’re locked out of Google Analytics because, to work with traffic of our volume, we’d have to open an Adwords account, and gambling sites aren’t allowed on Adwords.
So if someone could develop a service that can cope with our traffic, legacy code, and cater to our market area, that’d likely make them some money.
