I use sitemeter on my Petz site, they have the option to have the stats mailed to you which I quite like. Since I joined them they have become more commericalised, and while I do occasionally get offers from them, they aren't every day (or even every week) and they aren't irrelevant either.

You could also use webtrendslive.com or hitbox.

The free version of webtrends is not that great though.
Also, some hosts come with great log files witch is all you need.

Another one is The Counter. They send out weekly stats. The Free version is listed about half way down the first page.

Try Webcounter, link in my .sig

I hope this isn't viewed as spam since it's also an affiliate program, but it is a real, working counter and it has more stats than most of the counters I used to have. I'm really happy with it, and would be happy with the statistics if it weren't paying, too.
You can also run it invisible, without the banner, and run the banner elsewhere to earn the points for the invisible one.

My two have already been mentioned but I will put an extra vote in the box. Listed in order of who is best:

1. Sitemeter
2. Bravenet

Good luck.

If you had posted it, it would have been edited because it's an affiliate link. But sigs are allowed and you did that the smart way!

Cool.

Dave

P.S. You can make your sig a link too.

cqcounter.com is a good counter.

Personally I have always used, and been very happy with Sitemeter. I'd strongly recommend them.

**hostingplex** · 08-14-2002, 01:41 PM

If you have paid web hosting, you should have server statistics... should have all the information you want to know about your traffic.

**Tiggy** · 08-14-2002, 01:52 PM

While server logs/statistics are usually much better (as they are certainly more accurate) they can not tell you everything you want to know about your traffic.

OK, so a bit of JavaScript can determine the screen resolution and color depth - but does little to tell you more about your visitors likes/dislikes or even something technical like how many people have seen a particular article.

**david** · 08-14-2002, 02:38 PM

Personally, I like to get as many different 'opinions' as possible. I use server logs, sitemeter and my own system in parallel, and they all give me different values!

Its only by combining them all that I can get acccurate statistics.
