What is the best free counter out there?
 

I have recently tried:

extremetracker.com (too little info)
statcounter.com (inaccurate)
google analytics. (not realtime)


Does anyone know a good one?

Or maybe a sourcecode to a good php counter?

some one gotta know a good one, bump for me

pornograph...


or you could just use google analytics

I might try pornograph, I am a statistic narkotic and I need my fix more than once daily so google analytics and their 24 hour gab between updates just don't do it for me.

lol don't try pornograph.. it was a joke. It was a free counter that was used to scam many webmasters after it was reportedly sold by a high profile GFY member.

Quantcast has been getting better and better by leaps and bounds over the past year. Highly recommended.

LOL I googled it and didn't get any valid results so I gave up :D I didn't knew about them.

Checking them out as we speak, looks solid for sure

I just use StatCounter and love it.

What's wromg with server stats?

I want to get a total impression fast of a network of 20 sites. I use serverstats induvidually on the sites.

This isn't bad so far.. I've only been using it for a few weeks on a low traffic site.

Try analytics it's the best out there believe me. Don't get the impression that is not real time, I tell you it's very real time you just have to select the day and you will see hourly visitors. You can also export your keywords. I have almost 40K keywords that brought traffic to my site.

When I say it's not real time I mean it can take up to 24 hours before I can see the visit from this hour today.

However I have no installed it on all my domains because I think you're right about it beeing one of the best tools out there.

Ahhh this thread brings back memories from the sweet begining of this millenium :winkwink:

useful thread. Bump for more counters

Outster baby.

I was pretty satisfied with MasterStats, but that counter seems to have died a couple of days ago.
