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.

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.....

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

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.

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.

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.
