Beware Of Bogus Counters
Take a look at the hit counter to the lower left above my favorite blogs and places.
Below is a screen shot of my blog stats. Notice that there have been over 49-thousand page views all time history. The counter is running backwards.
I just refreshed and it shows a gain of 1 so it is now going in the right direction. It did this once before just before Thanksgiving. I lost 10 thousand hits. This time it looks like I lost about 85 hundred hits.
Anyone know of a good counter widget that knows how to count?

ReplyDeleteThanks, I will.
ReplyDeleteTom, stop using the stat counters. They only serve to grandstand what you already know: you get a lot of hits.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to get details, use Blogger's Stats page or use Google Analytics. Both work well, are free, and not easily hacked.
