Often overlooked, web statistics is one of the primary reasons you should have your own website. They tell you who's listening to your music (and where and when), what pages they're viewing and who directed them to your site, and ultimately, what they're saying about you (yes, statistic tools can help you track these comments!). And that's just the start. If you're on the web building a global fan network, these are the powerful tools that will help you understand who this network is and whether you're connecting effectively. Note that many web presence and social networking sites don't offer the type of information these tools can provide you (or present only a limited amount). It's yet another reason to have your own website.
We did our best to start this category, but if you know something that isn't listed here that would be useful, please add it. And if you see something that's listed, but it's incomplete, please add to it!
