If Woopra isn’t working right, if you are not getting the Woopra desktop client or web app to track your site, if the numbers are messed up, or you are getting errors on your site which you would like to blame on Woopra, please take a moment to validate your site’s code to ensure that there is nothing getting in the way of Woopra’s JavaScript doing it’s job.

We’ll soon be offering some basic tutorials in how to use Woopra and web analytics, so we’re curious about what statistics confuse you the most?
