    Any reason why you chose SiteMeter over Google Analytics? I remember loving (and paying for) SiteMeter until I found out about their weird tracking cookies that they used. Switched over to Google Analytics for everything, much nicer.

    I don't know if I have a perfect answer. Google Analytics launched in November of 2005, and I had turned SiteMeter on in December of 2005. So the option was there. At one point, I had both running, but during some template change, I nuked Analytics on accident. I just re-added Analytics yesterday, so I'll get both from here on out. Also worth noting is that SiteMeter caught up with the present by about 5 this afternoon.

    I seriously have way too many stat trackers installed. I am planning on writing an article about it later this week or early next week. I don't use SiteMeter though.

    Maybe you'll answer my questions JP

    I will keep them in mind when I do write! Thanks for the reminder.

    The programmers at Site Meter must not realize that there are no weekends off when you provide a service to thousands, tens of thousands or more people around the world. Someone will have a lump in their throat once they know they have caused an issue effecting all of their java based users. Currently sitemeter.com counter code is crashing all pages when a users browses to it in IE 6 or 7

    Louis, I wondered if you could answer a question to a blog fool like me! On site meter, does the TOTAL column mean total ever or total that month? If it's total ever then it's completely wrong.....
  • Louis Gray · 8 months ago
    Jane, the SiteMeter stats for "Total" mean all-time from the beginning of it being tracked. And yes, I strongly believe it undercounts, even though it's pretty good.
