So I just installed the MyBlogLog sidebar widget here and have to say that I really like it. Up until now I have seen it virally spreading its way through some of the blogs that I visit, like TechCrunch, Digital Inspiration, and Read/Write Web which is really what compelled me to try it out. Basically when you visit a site it will show you in the list of recent visitors such as the one that I have in the sidebar. It is actually pretty cool but you have to be a member in order for it to work.
They walk you through the necessary steps so that you can customize and tweak the sidebar widget until your heart is content and then they give you a little snippet of JavaScript code to insert. It is super easy but there is an underlying feature that I didn’t realize it had…stat tracking. When you signup they give you a free 3-day trial to see if you like the “MyBlogLog Pro” which includes the real-time statistics tracking (pictured above). I currently use Google Analytics but that is often delayed several hours and sometimes gets a little screwed up. MyBlogLog stats is very nicely laid out and only costs $3 per month…and I am actually considering doing that. It would be nice to have some real-time stat tracking capabilities.
If you decide to sign-up for MyBlogLog, or are already signed up, make sure to join the CyberNet community. 
Intertsting, I didn’t even know I was a member! But now that you mentioned TechCrunch…
You might want to change your URL in it. You spelled it wrong and it is pretty funny the site it takes you to.
Well that would explain why stuff wasn’t working right.
Have you tried statscounter.com? It’s way more functional than Google Analytics.
I haven’t tried that but it would cost me $9 a month which is a little more than I would want to pay. $3 seems pretty reasonable for a blog-focused statistics tracking package.
MyBlogLog looks cool on your sidebar, perfectly blended
Maybe I should also start using it ^_^
They offer a lot of things that you can customize to make it blend well. There is typically some kind of header above the pictures but if you leave the text blank then it will remove the header. That way I was able to use my own that matched the rest of the sidebars.
Also, let me know if you do because I’ll add you as a friend.
I’m glad we’re able to show you a good time. Let us know if there’s more we can do.
MyBlogLog’s marketing materials are awful. I had a similar experience with the service. I turned on ‘comment faces’ without realising by ticking a box on the MyBlogLog site, and suddenly a day later gravatar type images started appearing on my comments if a user was registered!

I didn’t mind as I think they look quite cool, and don’t slow my pages down. You should give it a go and see if oyu like it.
