Hi Friends,

I set out to search for a free visit counter for my blog and found something I thought was a pretty good deal considering the cost...free.

It's a stat counter that also gives you some other information that can help you analyze the traffic you're getting so you can tweek your site to get more traffic, etc.

There are several levels of their service, the very first being completely free. Of course if you have a website hosted somewhere you'll get all these tools within your AW stats or whatever you use, but if you are building and monitizing a hosted blog or site like blogger this can provide you with some analysis tools to help with the management of your site.

Here's the link if you're interested (I'm not affiliated, but wanted to share this free resource) : Site Meter - Counter and Statistics Tracker

BTW, they don't make you put in a huge banner in your site or anything. My traffic counter is way at the bottom of my blog. You'll have to look close to see it, LOL. Someday when I'm proud of my traffic I'll make it a little more visable, lol.

Thanks,


Jason

I don't know, Jason. IMO, nothing beats Google Analytics, and that's free as well, with nothing showing on your site.

Does Site Meter offer anything that GA doesn't?

To be honest in my rush and I didn't take a look at it. I'll have to take a look. I just wanted to get something quickly to start tracking my my traffic generation efforts ie. Social bookmarking, forums, articles, etc.

I'll take a look at it, Google probably would like it better to.

Thanks,

Jason
