Statcounter seems the simplest for the non-techie people but any stat program would do. @Matt All depends on the release. Tech press releases probably work the best but most I don't think will work as bloggers don't report as much as they commentate. @keith Changed @Michele many signed up so far do not know how to use Google analytics.

And people have. Most of them have been nice. I don't think sending press releases to bloggers works, unless the blog is a commercial/professional one (like the Gawker Media ones, etc). Contacting them (them meaning me) directly and openly (Hi, I am ___ and I work for ___, would you be interested in ____?) is fine, so long as the contact isn't so frequent and non-specific that it becomes spam.

A lot of bloggers use Analytics or something else. It's not that hard to give a 3rd party access to an Analytics account - in fact it's very easy.
