Analytics without Google — follow-up

Site speed moved my average position more than any backlink campaign ever did.

The hardest part of a new forum is the first hundred real members — everything before that is setup.

• Speed first
• Content people search for
• Consistent posting

— my entire SEO strategy.

I ditched GA for a lightweight self-hosted analytics tool and lost nothing I actually used.

Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.
