[Web4lib] Web Counters

[Jon Goodell]

It's not quite as in depth as Analog but Blogpatrol is okay.
http://www.blogpatrol.com  The advantage is the ease of use.  You just
insert it's JavaScript code into your HTML file.  You would need to do
this with each page so that can be time consuming.  Best of all it's
free!

Here is an example of the report:

yes

I would appreciate some recommendations for Web counters.

I do not have access to the server on campus that hosts our site, so a
Web log analyzer like Analog would probably not be a good choice
(without getting our Computer Services department involved). We
currently have counters on our pages (provided by Computer Services),
but they provide nothing more than a number. I want a counter that is
invisible and provides information on link referrals, search terms, etc.

Does anyone currently use a counter service that they have found to be
as useful as a service like Analog?

Thanks,
