What counter do you use for your forum?


I am just wondering what everybody else use's in here for stats? I have been using google analytics for a while, but they are not very up to date.

I did some searching, and I tried Statcounter(.)com they are ok. I Did some more searching and found a real nice FREE stat counter.

I have been using it since Dec. 26 and seems to work really well, and is really close to google analytics as far as accuracy.

Histats.com Free web stats and hit counter with invisible counters available for free

I like the search engine listing it uses here is a screen capture:

Then it will also list the keywords used to find your site as well as website referrals..

Maybe some of you have already found this and used it, but I think it is pretty good..

Re: What counter do you use for your forum?


awstats should be free, considering it is an open source project, and is freely available to everyone to download. That would be like your host trying to sell you phpBB.

I'm curious as to what host you are using?

Re: What counter do you use for your forum?


awstat is included in all cpanel hosting servers. But an admin can disable it. A sys admin I ca tell you it is a resource eater... if you don't have to much on the server this isn't a real problem but and that is worse, it takes space on the user account and for god knows what reason, it takes a lot of space. I mostly let it live till a user complains he has no space left for no good reason, then I disable it on his account after I explained why and he agrees

I am using midphase as a host, and like I said awstats was free for a couple of months. I sent them a message to ask why it was not working anymore and they said I had not bought it, so I never said anything else to them about it.
