Tag: Statcounter is better than WordPress Stats

WordPress Statistics

by Edwin on Feb.19, 2009, under Blogging

On a couple of other websites I used Statcounter, a free utility to keep score of your visitors. However for WordPress I just installed Wordpres.com Stats. Installation is a breeze, with the automatic installation feature for plug-ins. After copying pasting the API key, which you have to obtain from WordPress.com , Bob should be your uncle.

Let’s wait and see…

[update]
No, a little problem has occured. Althought it says somewhere “Just a note: we don’t count your own visits to your blog.”, it does seem to count them. And it looks like I’m not the only one.

I remember from StatCounter you could easily block your own visits from being tracked. If they only had a StatCounter/WordPress solution on the shelf…

Ha! They do! Check this out.

Just fyi a pic from Statcounter, showing you can easily block out your own visits:
