What Do You Look For In a Free Counter?
 

Basically Repetitive Monkey and myself are considering launching a free counter system for websites. The basic logging system has already been developed from some time ago, but before we consider starting the hard work with visualizing the statistics in various ways, we'd like to get some input as to what you guys look for?

We hope for it to eventually be free of all banners, but intially (while we test the script and work out profitability) we intend to have a small banner shown in return for counting (hopefully this won't last too long though). So anyway, what do you look for?

uptime

but enough counters already so spare yourself the effort.

non-js based. server-based. Like webalizer but with daily/hourly referer log

There are a few counters, but even porngraph (one of the bigger totally free counters) is always down and having troubles. We think we can get rid of both these problems and still offer a totally free service.

Yeah good uptime + non-js-based + unobtrusive gets my vote.

when did porngraph become one of the bigger counters?

if you can make a counter better than my urchin stats then thats what i want

One of the bigger totally free counters (no image need be displayed, no signup cost, etc). Feel free to prove me wrong though.

everything

uptime is most important to me... if it could be live.. umm
