Relying more on server stats of course; like a lot of newbies I used freehosts when I first started out and so I needed a counter, but once I wised up and started hosting my own stuff, I kept the counters because they can still be handy.

Don't always use a counter now, but when I do, I use masterstats. Somebody on here recommended them a month or two back when Fox Counters were down for most of a week, and I've been gradually shifting over. They do most things better, although they don't let you track back your search engine traffic as easily. (I like clicking on a referring URL to track back to the search that generated the hit; Masterstats doesn't allow that because they "strip" all the parameters when they report search engine referrers.)
