Mint 2 - A Fresher Look At Your Site
January 29th, 2007 / 1 Comment
Shaun Inman has just released his latest version of Mint, a comprehensive web stats tool. I consider this a must have for any new site, and honestly I am not sure what I would do with out it. I guess the only downside to Mint being so good is that it can be very addictive.
As far as new features for Mint 2, I am most excited about the filtering by timespan on most tabs. For example, you can easily see the most visited pages in the last 2 hours, or check out where your referrals have come from in the last day only. These are very nice features built in to the default installation.
The new Visits graphs are also a nice addition, along with a new Pepper called Bird Feeder, which gives you a nice look at who is looking at your feeds.
My only complaint is the new look to Mint. For some reason it just doesn’t seem to have the same elegant, understated look as the previous version. The new style jumps out at you too much and is a little harder on the eyes.
Have used Mint and its amazing Peppers for about over a year now. Coupled with Google Analytics and a keen eye spotting trends, my site traffic started to rocket!
