StatCounter Free Invisible Web Tracker and Counter

It would be really nice to be to label certain IPs that we know belong to a certain person with a name. That way instead of the IP showing, it would say "Rose" (or whatever you typed in). I've seen this in other programs and thought it worked well. Wink

I love StatCounter though! Thanks so much!

Sounds familiar. I think someone suggested it already..?

What happened last time someone suggested it?

I'm forever surrounded by post-it notes with IP addresses and names scrawled on, "mum", "mum at home" "me" "me at work" "me on firefox" etc.

This feature would be great

I thought this was suggested before - but i agree this is a nice feature with very little overhead.

Adding it to the stickies.

I've just emailed someone at statcounter about this and they told me to post the idea here.

So since it's already here, I'll just add a vote for it to be implemented!

Cheers.

Yes, yes we will be adding this feature Smile

Keep posting to this thread if you want it. Helps us judge demand and what is the next biggest priority to add.

Yes, this would be a great feature. Click on the user IP and assign it a name.

It would be a wonderful addition as it would also make great business sense to do this - Here are two of the main benefits:-

-Easier to identify click fraudsters and other fraudsters
-See which competitor has visited your site

Actually I have noticed some of my larger competitors have there name in the IP address so i can spy on them but others i have to remember so tagging the ips with a name would make things a lot easier.

Please make this a priority item to work on!!! I swear I account for 2% of 3M's yearly income from all the post-it notes I have with peoples IP addresses on them. I even have an excel matrix to try to log them but I have to keep both windows open to tell who the person is. I even made my users register via form submit and put the IP as a require field.

Please Please Please make this happen! Idea

I agree! This would help me so, so much. It would be a lot easier to just be able to read the name of the people who check my site!

Just replying to hopefully encourage you guys to add this feature and perhaps take it one step further?

This isn't the first counter/visitor log I've used and most of the previous ones provided me with all of the following:

-If the visitor was a xanga member, I guess their IP was registered somewhere because the past trackers were capable of providing the xanga user's name.

-The referrering link

I realize that xanga is a special case, that there are limits that make xanga less compatible with your counter. I just wanted you to know that I've seen it given to me for free, so it must be possible.

I hope this reply doesn't sound degrading because I truly believe that this is one of the best services I've ever seen offered on the internet for free. I commend you guys for making your user interface so clear, your site so ad-free, and your counter so customizable.

Keep up the good work Smile

I too agree and think that assigning a name to IP addressess would be a REALLY big help. Hope this gets implemented soon!

Would love this too. But where will that name be stored? Locally as a cookie? We need to know if there are any privacy issues (would the name be stored elsewhere) or time-issues like having to take care not to delete a certain cookie. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

This is a feature that I really liked when I used Visitorville. It's so much easier to monitor site visitors. Please add my vote!
