Not another counter service?

Why should I choose StatCounter? What's different about you? Well we're on a mission. Yes we're on a mission to become the best web tracker available to webmasters and website owners this world over, so we need your help. But here's a few other reasons to give us a try.

Completely Free Service

We're free, we always have been, and we fully intend to stay free. We keep our overheads to a minimum - then make our money from advertising when you log onto StatCounter to see the latest visitors to your website. If your website is getting more than 250,000 hits a month, then you are outside this revenue model. Drop us a mail before joining and we'll work something out for you.

We're currently testing even more advanced tracking services, which won't be commercially viable as a free service. These new tracking services will be offered on top of the free service. We still plan to keep adding as many features to the free service that can be sustained.

Fast, Responsive, Quick loading Service

Why did I start StatCounter back in 1999? I had been using a counter service that was loading slower and slower every single day. I spent a long time getting my website to load quickly, and all my efforts were destroyed by a slow loading counter service. So what did I do? I started my own! We share the load across an ever expanding cluster of dedicated servers to ensure your counter is kept loading quickly - it's usually instant. We're not perfect though, but if we get a report of a slow loading counter, we'll do whatever it takes to get it sorted and fast.

Reliable Service

What's almost the worst thing to see on a website? Well most people seem to have finally gotten the message about the eyesores that are blinking tags, flashing backgrounds and the dreaded scrolling marquee tag. After that, one of the worst things to see is a broken image link. This is another irritating phenomenon of counter services. They go boom and bust very quickly and your left with a dangling gaping big broken image hole on your website. Thanks very much.

We've been providing this service since 1999. We've been through a lot of blood, sweat and tears, agony and ecstasy, misery and joy, heartache and ... well you get the picture. It's been a long journey - 5 years - 3 re-launches - over a billion hits tracked. We've been through the rough times, we've learned from our early mistakes. We've gotten very experienced administering web applications that have to take an extreme load. It has been rock solid since the last re-launch. When the demand increases we just add more dedicated servers to the pool.

We're on a mission to become the best web tracker available to webmasters and website owners - we know this is a tough business, but we're here to stay. Good times and bad.

Invisible Tracking

Have you experienced the 'lets provide a free counter service for a few months then whack them with a charge without any warning', followed closely by the 'free accounts are now worthless we'll just plaster their website with intrusive ads and pop-ups'. This is yet another annoying trend that I've noticed about counter services.

You've spent a long time developing your website, now you want to know who is visiting it. Fair enough. But does that mean you have to subject your visitors to ugly advertising from your counter service? Well we certainly don't believe so - with StatCounter you get what is probably the most configurable free hit counter available in the world, as well as the option to go completely invisible. There are absolutely no ads on your website!
