I’d seen the warning at StatCounter, that someone was tracking clicks using one of their competitor’s web stats services. Turns out that is was SiteMeter according to Things You Should Know Before Using SiteMeter. I’d assumed that is was they, but I didn’t much care, until today, when one my sites wouldn’t load because it was waiting on a download from an alien server. End of SiteMeter. Need to find a replacement for public stats for my Internet Workshop websites. Maybe Google Analytics if I stat sharing is managable.

Did you know you can have public stats for StatCounter as well?
When you login to StatCounter simply click the padlock icon beside your project name.
Then on the next screen enable public stats!
I hope this helps.

Okay. I’ll try using StatCounter for public stats.
FYI: My project is to tech people how to blog, so they can report on the recovery efforts in their New Orleans neighborhood. Public stats teach people about traffic.
If you’re still watching, can I ask: What tool do you use to find conversations about SiteMeter? You really swooped in outta nowhere. Very coool.
