Hi,

I don't know if this is in the wrong section, so I apologise if it is!

I'm currently using Freestats.com to track trafic at my sites, but I'm certain it's missing quite a chunk of the traffic to each site. For one thing, it's missing all search engine spiders etc! I've noticed a lot of times that the stats themselves are wrong (10 different IP addresses accessing, but only reporting 3 uniques for example)

Anyway, does anyone recommend a better free service/software that I should use instead? Would be good to free up the banner space too

Marc

try this php script: http://www.christoph-bachner.net/php...ript=chCounter

or a perl script, Access Stats that can be found here: http://www.proxy2.de/scripts.php

i personally use chCounter, the irst link.

hope it helped ya

I highly recommend Master Stats

It will do all what you want

Thanks for the tips.... seeing as I'm no good with MySQL I stuck with online webstats places, and went for webSTAT.com

Ideal for what I need

http://www.whatcounter.com

That is a very good free invisible counter,

*NOTHING* beats AWStats.

statcounter rockz for me

I love AWStats and statscounter. I'm going to write my own software soon though, as all the pay for software doesn't have the features of AWSTats and statscounter, plus there are some features missing, even in those to favorites.

There's this one pay-for software that's $50, but doesn't even give correct stats! It doesn't register unique users properly. I haven't found any decent software for web stats yet, so its high time something else was available to at least supplement AWStats.

JasonMichael:

I would be most interested in just what features you would like to see that aren't being supplied with any of the stats services you have seen.

The reason I ask is that is my business, and we are always looking for ways to improve the service. So any suggestions you might have would be most welcome.

I agree that most services just supply the same raw stats, and they don't really get into the business aspect of it. That is, how to actually use the stats to improve your site performance and so on.
