Website and Blog Counter - free!
For years, I've used the same free website counter. I discovered it early on in the history of websites and never thought about switching - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" -- right? But last week I discovered another counter program (for FREE of course!) that's is much more powerful. Now I've switched all my sites (and blogs!) over to www.statcounter.com. The initial reason for my switch was the ability to manage as many site counters as needed under one account name. The bonus was discovering the in-depth reports I get without having to pay extra as I did with the old service. In less than 1 week, I've already discovered valuable information about the visitors to my site - where they come from, what pages they visit, how long they stay and what resolution they're using. Now I'm addicted to checking the statistics so I can wonder just who that visitor is...
Cheers!
