Blog with
useful information about Statcounter. The first post said "I have
quickly become bored with Google Analytics: I think it's appeal is more
for marketing departments and powerpoint/pie chart enthusiasts. I like
the raw detail that statcounter gives me in an easily accessable way.
I can see what people are searching for and sometimes it even inspires
me to update articles to be more useful." Other post describes
how to install statcounter in web sites. Link: http://www.petersblog.org/node/1064
Free stats:
StatCounter versus Google Analytics
December 8, 2005
If you’ve
got a personal website or blog and don’t have the money to spend
on an advanced statistics package, you want to find the best free stats
package out there to find out where your visitors are coming from and
what they are looking for. The free solution I have been using for over
a year is StatCounter, mostly because it permitted free usage with an
invisible “hit counter.” Another popular service called
SiteMeter forces you to place a small icon on your website. While I
preferred the way that SiteMeter presented visitor locations, the SiteMeter
icon did not look professional and did not fit with the theme of my
website.
Since Google
recently made their Urchin statistics software free and changed its
name to Google Analytics, I was curious to run both Analytics and StatCounter
simultaneously and determine which free service I preferred. Read on
to learn more about both services, such as things like “Projects”,
“Goals” and “Defined Funnels”. By the end of
the comparison review, you should be able to determine which service
will be better for your site. Link: http://paininthetech.com/free_stats_statcounter_versus_google_analytics

I've been
testing a number of different web statistics tools, and the current
king of the mountain is statcounter.com. This is the first web stats
product i've seen that presents a very clear interface, uses some AJAX,
and comes from a SEO mentality, which I think is super important. Link:

StatCounter
has improved recently so much, that it beats the competition with a
significant margin. The reporting options of StatCounter are unmatched.
It allows you to select start and end dates freely, and also measurement
units, (day, week, month, quarter or year reporting), and you can save
your personal preference to your default the next time you logon to
your StatCounter stats. Link:http://tellertest.com/pivot120/pivot/entry.php?id=437
Blog Statistics
with StatCounter
May 23, 2005
I recently
came across a free tracking/measurement service called StatCounter.
After a few simple steps I was ready to insert their HTML code into
my template. A running total of the number of page loads appears at
the bottom of the right panel of my blog. The counter is nice, but it’s
all the other statistics that caught my eye. StatCounter shows things
like which pages are the most popular, where people entered and exited
your site, where they came from, what keywords they most often searched
for, what browsers they’re using, how long they tend to stay on
your site, etc. Link: http://jwikert.typepad.com/the_average_joe/2005/05/blog_statistics.html

Statcounter...spyware?
question sent to this forum where many participants have made general
comments about statcounter. "As far as I'm aware StatCounter is
a perfectly reputable organisation, and I certainly haven't heard of
them using spyware. If they did, the word would soon get about, and
they would have no business. They make their money from the advertisers
you see on the StatCounter page that you login to when you want to view
your stats." Link: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/index.cfm?action=showthread&threadid=213154&forumid=13

In this
blog Nathan Weinberg said "I'm sure tens of thousands of bloggers
will be switching to Google Analytics in the coming months, eliminating
the awful StatCounter et. al. images strewn all over the web, and I
say good riddance." Link: http://google.blognewschannel.com/index.php/archives/2005/11/14/google-makes-web-analytics-free/
