Statcounter or Sitemeter?
Posted on October 21st, 2007 in Stats |
I used to be a hardcore Sitemeter junkie. As most of us are, I’m a stats junkie. I check and I check, I want to know where you came from, how long you were here, and where you clicked to go when you left.
Donovan happened to turn me on to Statcounter. The beauty of this service is that for one thing, you can have an invisible meter on your site, and two, you can track multiple sites with one account. It’s also really easy to use and you can block more than one IP address at a time.
Sitemeter, on the other hand, still tracks my visits (to update) from work. Maybe that’s Sitemeter’s way of telling me that I shouldn’t be doing that stuff at work, who knows.
So, in the end, it’s Statcounter all of the way for me. What about you? Do you use either one? Or another service?

Roberta, I use Sitemeter every now and then, but the service I have become totally addicted to is 103 Bees (http://www.103 bees.com)
The service was mainly designed to track the keyword phrases people type in search engines to find your blog, and it has a lot of awesome features. Check it out if you get a chance, I’m addicted to it!
Thanks for the tip, Phil, I’ll have to check that out
I use WordPress which has a page dedicated to graphing out your stats by the day, week, and month. It also tracks the search phrases, most popular page, outclicks, and where the visit originated - all in one easy place. I love it!!
I haven’t been using anything really, but I should really start checking who comes to the site and how long. I’m going to start utilizing this tool as it has helped you I’m sure.
