Seven Free Statistics Trackers for Your Website
by Michael Low
As some of you probably now know, WebTrends Live at
www.webtrendslive.com
no longer offer the free Personal Edition of their statistics tracker.
Affected are hundreds of thousands of websites that still use the free WebTrends
Live Personal Edition to keep track of their site statistics such as the number of
daily visits and pageviews.
Many webmasters are probably oblivious of this change and still display the
WebTrends Live code on their site. Some are left clueless as to which other free
statistics trackers offer comparable tracking that WebTrends Live Personal Edition
once provided.
The email notice from WebTrends Live stated that past statistics had been deleted
and are no longer available. Members who wish to continue using WebTrends Live need
to upgrade to the eBusiness Edition that cost $35 monthly. For most small webmasters,
the idea of paying $35 a month for a site statistics tracker is exorbitant,
especially when they are faced with their monthly hosting bill already.
In this brief article, I'll spotlight some free site statistics trackers that
webmasters may consider using.
