to each his own.
I've worked inside a counter company.
and i still use counters to this day.
the trade off in traffic is marginal - for how easy it is to use, track, get a ball park, check referrers, focus in on a particular pages performance,
plus - the extra benefits of exit stats
but fuck - just the rankings alone make it worthwhile - for chest beating and finding traffic trades - etc. sure not everybody uses them - but SO?
it's not a perfect tool - but it is a fairly effective metric
