webmaster tools :: counters & trackers

 

Counted!
Counted has very detailed online statistics that are extremely useful. You can also track your detailed statistics a few days back. This is great especially for those who may forget to view their stats for a few days. Their icons are also quite cute, and can be customized to match your site's design. Available statistics are: General Information, Impressions, Unique Visitors, Reloads, Returns, Visitor Information, Plugin Stats, Persistant Stats, Referrers, Exist Stats and Browser Stats. These will be further subdivided when you click their links.

SiteStatz
Not as detailed as Counted, but it has the one important information that Counted cannot provide: the IP numbers or exact domains of your visitors. Available statistics are: Number of visitors for today, yesterday, and prediction; last 20 referrers; browser details, and summarized details. You can also search for a specific visitor through his/her IP address, browser, country, etc. It also uses a cute little purple icon for tracking purposes.

theCounter.Com
TheCounter actually started out as a simple counter, until it later provided a few statistics that are extremely useful. It is still considered as a counter...with a LOT of extras from information to a variety of counter designs to choose from. The best aspect of using thecounter.com is that like paid hosting trackers, it has an invisibilty feature that helps meticulous webdesigners track their site's performance without getting stuck with an ugly graphic counter image.

XTreme
This is arguably the most detailed statistics tracker ever created. Almost all of Counted's and Sitestatz's features are already combined into this one powerful tracker. Gripe number one: The newer xtreme members have complained that their xtreme accounts have not been tracking properly. In fact, there was one time that xtreme's servers crashed. It was at this time that Coolay changed trackers to support its GeoCities mirror. Gripe number two: Their icon is xtremely ugly (tacky, ungainly, horrid-looking with its outdated design and all), not to mention a bit huge!
