To most serious webmasters website analytics are a major part of their life. Knowing who is coming to their website and how they got there is an important factor to building a successful website but being able to make changes because of access to this data is even more important as it will bring both growth and profit.

Without the creation of such informative and helpful software, webmasters would be clueless on how their website is doing and what they can improve on. Obviously, different software supply different features and at the end of the day its down to a webmasters preference to which software they use.
