Our Sitemeter has been seriously screwed up for some time now and now the icon says [Ignored]. I've done as our commenters suggested and installed the free SiteMeter (from a different server) and the free StatCounter.
As of 3:08 pm 03/15/07:
- StatCounter says we have 1579 page loads, 910 unique visitors and 181 returning visitors so far today.
- SiteMeter says we have 1610 page views (could be the same as 1579 page loads since I checked SiteMeter after StatCounter) and 818 visits.
The free StatCounter also provides much more information than the subscription SiteMeter (which isn't working anyway). Since it works and is free I like StatCounter better. I'd like a partial refund from SiteMeter, or at least a free hat, but I'm not expecting even an email apology.
For our records, we had 386,892 SiteMeter-style visits on 03/14/07. As god is my witness, the march toward 1 million visitors continues via StatCounter!
