Podcast Stats
I was just listening to the October 28th (#112) podcast of GeekNewsCentral.com from Todd Cochrane. He talks about some cool tools we could use to see how many listeners we have!
He discussed Libsyn which can host your podcast files for you if you don't have server space, and can also provide stats! Hosting fees range from $5-$30 per month.
He also discussed the freely available software created by Kevin H. Devin called "Podstats" which you use via command line (if you have access to the log files on your server.)
And he mentioned the windows-driven script Chuck Tomasi has written that takes the xml data from Libsyn and can convert it to extended log file format for parsing by Podstats.
I haven't yet tried any of this, but it's good to know it's out there.

Hello...
I'm slow in getting around to checking referrer logs. But I noticed a couple of statements in this post that I thought I'd help clear up. 1) The location of podstats has been relocated. It can now be found at http://forums.friendsintech.com/viewforum.php?f=7 and 2)The piece created by Chuck Tomasi isn't a windows-based piece, but rather, another perl script that takes Libsyn XML log files and converts them BACK to an Extended Log File format to then be parsed by Podstats.
There is a VB.NET version of Podstats in development, but... admitedly, progress has been very slow.
