Hi!
I see only two exit links:
29 Dec 10:16:39 http://www.statcounter.com/
29 Dec 10:16:34 http://www.statcounter.com/
These have been recorded when I clicked on the counter, but then I also clicked on other links (regular <a href=...>) and nothing has been recorded.

Might have been a problem a couple of days agao but today I'mseeing:

1 Jan 19:15:49 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wcewmt/html/_wcesdk_asx.asp


Which sounds OK. Of course I don't know for a fact that all exit clicks are accounted for.

I do see a much lower number of hits logged in sc4 for the day though. Mostly it seems to be the sc4 counter stopped reporting after 8:51am today EST. Probably lagging, like others are reporting. It should eventually catch up I suuppose.

I still don't see exit links, neither my clicks. Am I the only one with this problem?

If you don't see your own click you are blocking it yourself.

If you aren't seeing exit links then nobody has clicked to an external link form your site. Google ad links don't count since they are javascript.

I visited and clicked on - had to go look for an external link to click. I didn't check if it was a normal link or a javascript link though.

I'm not blocking myself and links are regular "a href" (other than the few ads).
I use blosxom, a cgi script for blogs that builds the site reading multiple text files: a head.html, a html file for each post, and a foot.html.
I found out that if I put the statcounter code in head.html the javascript code detects only the few links I put in head.html (because the cgi has not loaded the posts yet). Moving the statcounter code to foot.html the exit links are detected and showed in the stats.

It took a little while to understand that but it's been worthwhile :mrgreen:

I clicked on several of my exit links (my logging being allowed) and have yet to see any results show up.

My site is http://www.las-cruces.com

I built the site with NetOjects Fusion and am not using frames.

Everything else appears to work fine.

Any ideas?

Hello aschobey

I visited your site and clicked on several exit links. My IP starts with 75.

You are aware that javascript links like Google Ads are not included.

Nothing, no logged exits at all.

It might be better if you move all the statcounter code to the bottom of the page body, just before the </body> tag.

It doesn't matter for the original tracker, but it's possible the beta tracker (sc4) needs that in order to capture exit links and downloads. Not sure.

It should have logged 2 exist links from me just now.

Moving the script to the bottom of the page fixed the problem.

Thanks!
