Do you want to know who your visitors are, where they come from and how do they found your website?

I just found a pretty good website stat counter not long ago. It’s called StatCounter. One big advantage of this is, it’s free. And it offers a lot more advantages compared to other free stats out there.

I’ve used a free SiteMeter before for quite some time before I discovered Stat Counter. SiteMeter is kinda good but after trying StatCounter, I realised StatCounter is a lot better. Here are the reasons:

- graphical representation
- invisible on your webpage
- full ip address of the visitors
- keyword analysis
- visitors’ country
- most popular pages list
- multiple website statistics under one single account (very useful if you have many websites)
- you can export the stats and download them as MS Excel file.

Isn’t it amazing? You get all that for free! None of these are provided by SiteMeter. But of course, there are limitations (eg log size limit = 100 visitors only). However, I still feel it’s the best free website stat so far. What do you think?
