Site meter...

Threecollie at Northview Diary, wrote a post about the new changes to Site Meter. I couldn't have said it better.

My mom and I are both Site Meter users and we have a love/hate relationship with it. The passwords are so annoying. It would be easier for everybody if they let you pick your own password, than trying to remember some letter combination that has to be all capitals. I don't know if Blogger has it's own web stats or not. If it does, I haven't found it yet. I think I would definitely switch if there was.

Last week Site Meter sent out an email to all of its users, saying that the site was going to be down on the weekend of September 12th - 14th, so my mom and and I stayed out of it. But as you can read in Threecollie's post, they made some major changes: all graphs and microscopic print. They must have gotten so many emails to change it back, that now it's back to what it used to be. Luckily, I missed all of this!

It drives me up a wall when someone changes where all the buttons are when they were just fine the way they were. Seems like they just let you get used to where everything is, and then it's time to change everything again.

**Comments will be answered tomorrow**

I tend to use statcounter - dunno what site meter is like, but I like that I can see where people have come in from, what words they've searched on and come to my site from as well as returning visitors..

Does have a limit of details on only up to 100 visits though unless you pay for more.

Oh, and you can set your own password ;)
