Visualizing Visitor Traffic

Recommendations:
  • VisitorVille, which displays website visitors as animated characters in a virtual city. For example, if you came to this page from Google, a bus with the Google logo would travel to a building representing this page. (Not quite a stepped scarlet pyramid, but hey.)
  • Statcounter.com, a free site tracker with statistics and graphs.
  • Gvisit.com, a service which displays visits on a Google world map.
  • Mapstats, another service which displays visits on a Google map and provides detailed statistics.
  • ClustrMaps, an alternative system that displays visits on a map.
  • Site Meter's World Map of Visitors, another system which displays visits on a map which is updated frequently.
Thanks to those who wrote in. Additional suggestions are welcome.
