StatCounter

I installed Stat Counter on this blogsite a few days ago. It’s great! It counts hits, tracks new and returning visitors, their locations in the world, where they landed, where they exited to, how long they stayed and all sorts of other stats that I’m certain will be useful someday.

StatCounter make no secret of the fact that they aim to become the world’s number one web stat provider. Of course, they have Google Analytics (GA) to beat out.

A friend of mine had GA. When I first installed Stat Counter, I IM’d him to go see my website so I could watch the StatCounts climb. He said GA doesn’t show you your stats until the next day.

Want real time stats? I like StatCounter.
