I received the long-awaited email, saying that StatCounter were taking new projects on board and I hastily got my account up and running.

It's easy to read testimonials with a cynical viewpoint, but for once I have to agree; this service is rather exceptional. I first went looking for an alternative hit counter because my hosting service was reporting some rather bizarre statistics that flew in the face of what I'd researched (apparently everyone out there in Cyber-world uses Netscape 4.0).

So onto Google I went, and stumbled across StatCounter. It was free, it said (but only if you want the absolute minimum of stats, I thought). It could be invisible, it said (but only if you pay a premium, I thought). It didn't asphixiate your site with pop-up windows, it said (yeah right, I thought, where's the catch?) Well it turned out I was wrong and that all the testimonials were quite right.

At a time when the Internet is getting cynical and over-commercialised and is being villified by the media, it's so refreshing to see a site that just wants to deliver a free and high-quality product. Thank you, StatCounter, I stand corrected!

Many thx for the nice feedback Red Spider. You can tell you put quite a bit of effort and thought into that post.

We're committed to providing the best stats we possible can to the most amount of webmasters out there. We'll always try to give away as much as we can for free, but we do have to charge for bigger log sizes and better reporting.

I'd love to add your kind words to the testimonial page. Could I have your permission for that? And if you could let me know your name, website and location.

Absolutely. No problem.

I'm Carmen from North Wales and I have two sites at the moment, www.stevelewisphotography.co.uk and www.blindandhappy.co.uk

Thanks for your kind words too.
