Statcounter.com - Free Software Program to Track Your Website Traffic

People who have websites love to know how many people are coming to their site and how often. They also like to know more than that, they like to know who is coming to their site, where they came from, how they found the site, what kind of web browser they are using, etc...and StatCounter can provide you with this valuable information. The best part about StatCounter getting this information for you is that it won't cost you anything except some simple code changes.

That's right a StatCounter for you website that is totally free and easy to use. It is a free service but that doesn't mean it isn't without its limitations, they offer the free service with some good features in hopes you will one day decide to buy the upgraded services. The free services are ample for any hobbyist just looking for some data tracking on their visitors, but if you have a website that gets millions of hits you might not want this product.

StatCounter is a simple web based program that uses a bit of code on your page to keep track of the information about your visitors. It is stored on a server located at (http://www.statcounter.com/) you can login to your registered account and view the information. StatCounter gives you some great tools for searching through all of the website traffic info and finding the information you deem important. Like I said before though its free version has some limitations like only allowing tacking of 250,000 hits a month. If you go over that you won't get any of the data stored and wont know about these visitors. The log size is limited to 100 logs which is pretty small if you get a large amount of traffic this just won't suffice.
