One feature that I certainly missed a lot from the old Google Analytics was the ability to check what time the visitors come. Such as what is the peak hour, what is the best time for maintenance downtime, and also very importantly – when my site is down unpectedly for one reason or another – to find out what time and how long was the downtime. So it was a real pity that Google took the feature away. So I thought.

Can’t recall exactly how long was the old Analytics replaced with the new Analytics already, if I’m not mistaken was like 2 years ago. By some sheer chance, I just find out that one of my favourite feature was indeed not removed and is still there.

If you are also looking for that feature, here it is:

From your Google Analytics Dashboard for the website you want to check, see the panel under “Site Usage”.

Click the “Visits” link. Once opened, see the few small icons right below the date selection dropdown. Click on the clock icon. See right there the visits will be grouped by the hour.

If you look carefully, classifieds sites are among the fastest growing websites these 2 years. For that reason at one time I have tried finding classifieds scripts/software for my website. To be fair, it wasn’t as hard as finding MLM script. Nevertheless it ain’t easy job as well.

Here I’m trying to list down a few open source classifieds scripts that I have tried. Not sure whether the download links still working. Most are open source scripts, so you can see the source code. All except Rapid Classifieds and StudentTrader are based on PHP coding. Rapid Classifieds is based on ASP code while StudentTrader is written in Java.

Some previously available free classifieds scripts such as Geodesic Basic Edition and Noah Classifieds Lite has been taken down and only the commercial editions software are available now.
