We have had many many people complain that WebSTAT wasn't correctly logging their framed pages statistics. We have finally raised the priority to the highest level for this problem and have implemented full support for framed pages. There is another set of code tags that will need to be generated and pasted into only one of your pages, if you are a framed site owner/webmaster. To get instructions on how to do this, please visit our FAQ at http://www.webstat.com/faq.php.

"Page Naming" implemented for the "Visited Pages" report (September 19th, 2002)

Many people lately have asked, "What do I do if I have one dynamic script which generates all my HTML pages for me? Even though the script is generating completely different pages, they all show up as one entry in the 'Visited Pages' report." We have implemented a way to give your pages a descriptive name so that dynamic scripts can show up as individual pages rather than just giving you the script's name in the "Visited Pages" report. This can come in handy also for people who'd rather see a descriptive name for their pages rather than a URL. To get instructions on how to do this, please visit our FAQ at http://www.webstat.com/faq.php.

Visited Pages, Referring URLs, and Keywords now logged in "True Form" (September 19th, 2002)

Many people have complained that their links displayed in the reports for their Visited Pages and Referring URLs were always lowercased, and that sometimes the URLs were actually case-sensitive, causing the links in their reports to be disfunctional. We have changed it so that WebSTAT now logs all of these entries, including Search Engine Keywords, in their original case-sensitive form. Most people will notice this change take effect tomorrow (20th of September 2002).

Visual Counter Added! (July 29th, 2002)

We have had enough demand for the visual counter to motivate us to add one to the overall Premium account package. If you are a Premium account owner and you would like to display a visual counter on your pages instead of doing the invisible tracking, simply login to your account, go to your 'Account' menu (silver folder icon in the upper right hand corner of your browser window with the word 'account' under it), select 'Edit My Account Preferences', and then click the 'Change Counter' button on the bottom of the resulting form. The option is given to display either the total cumulative visitors or page views to your site since the creation of your WebSTAT account. There are about 40 different counter styles to choose from, and we may be adding more soon. Once the counter style is saved, the image will begin displaying immediately on your webpages that have the WebSTAT code tags in them.

Report Items increased from 30 to 100 (July 2nd, 2002)

We have just increased the maximum entries per report from 30 to 100. This means that before, when you could only see the top 30 Visited Pages, you can now see the top 100. You will only be able to view the top 100 from today forward (as WebSTAT has not been saving anything past the top 30 up to this point). This applies to Premium account owners only and is available in these reports:
Browsers
Browser Versions
Color Depths
Countries
Frequent Visitors
ISP
Javascript Versions
Keywords
OS
OS Versions
Referring URLs
Screen Resolutions
Search Engines
Visited Pages

Pie Charts, Bar Graphs, and Line Plots implemented (June 21st, 2002)

When you login now your default view mode is going to be set to Graphs, which means that you will start seeing Pie Charts, Bar Graphs, and Line Plots! Don't worry if you aren't used to this new way of viewing things yet. You can easily switch back to the classic view by selecting the Chart button in the "Select View Mode:" box which will appear on the right hand side of your screen (under the calendar control) for the reports that it pertains to (all of them EXCEPT the General Summary report). We are really excited to offer you these new features and have more in store. Stick with us, we are striving to offer you the best service around!

MORE new reports added! (June 21st, 2002)

We have added several new reports which people have been asking for, and which were long overdue. The reports are:
1. Daily Visitor Averages
2. Hourly Visitor Averages
3. Monthly Visitor Trends
As well, we have made a slight modification to the Calendar Summary report, giving you the total Page Views/Visitors for the month, and the average Page Views/Visitors per day for the entire month (you'll notice the change along the top portion of the calendar). Enjoy, and keep the suggestions coming! We care about all of them.

New Javascript Report added (May 28th, 2002)

We have added a new report (Javascript Versions) to the Premium Accounts. This is a very helpful report for the Javascript developer to determine which Javascript Version is being used most. This can help ensure your website is compatible with as many visitors' browsers as possible.

Affiliate Program (May 28th, 2002)

We have finally gotten our affiliate program up and running. There may be some minor changes to it within the next few days. Everyone go sign up! You can make some good money off of it!

WebSTAT's servers co-located (March 5th, 2002)

There was some planned downtime early this morning while we physically moved WebSTAT's servers offsite to a new location. This completes a step in our move to guarantee 99.9% uptime as we now have backup power, and better cooled facilities for our equipment. We appreciate your patience with little things like this. In the long run it will make WebSTAT a much more reliable service with much more accurate results.

Even MORE Upgrades! (Oct 27th, 2001)

Stick with us, you won't be disappointed! We have just implemented a few new features:

1. Downloadable reports (Printer Friendly, Excel, Acrobat)
2. Ability to share your stats publicly
3. Hourly Page Views report
4. Hourly Unique Visitors report
5. The look and feel has changed a little to make it easier to navigate
6. Secure code tags (SSL) for you who may want to track secure pages

Once again, these newer features are only going to be seen by those who have Premium accounts. Free accounts may notice a change in the overall look and feel, but that's mostly it. We hope you enjoy the new features! We have more on their way!

Upgrades (Oct 1st, 2001)

We have just implemented some upgrades which will make WebSTAT even better than ever. Paid accounts will now be able to get full stats for any particular day (e.g. keywords, visited pages, browsers, etc.) rather than just a monthly summary. This is a feature many of you have been requesting and is the first major upgrade since we implemented WebSTAT v2.0 in July. We have more upgrades in the pipeline! We are committed to making WebSTAT the best value in web statistics on the net!

Update (Sept 4th, 2001)

We have upgraded all accounts that used the old WebSTAT (pre July 2001 accounts) to use the new. The data for previous months has been converted to the new system. In order for the new system to collect data correctly from this point forward ALL USERS who signed up before July 2001 MUST replace the webstat tags in their html pages with the new code. The new tags may be obtained by logging into your account on this server with the same username and password that you had on the old server, and clicking on the "Generate Tags" link. The old WebSTAT will be decommissioned in the next couple of weeks.

We are excited to finally get both old and new users on the same system again with a superior and more robust service. Once this data conversion is completed we will be able to concentrate on new and improved reports. Thanks for your patience during our "re-construction".

WebSTAT Version 2.0 is here!! (July 19, 2001)

After much blood, sweat, and tears we are proud to present WebSTAT Version 2.0! We are putting the site live with the hope that everything will work as expected. We have done a lot of testing, but as you may or may not know how that goes, there are just going to be things we didn't even think of that you, our users, are going to have to help us find and fix.

If you have any problems or see anything that doesn't look quite right, we'd really really appreciate your input. Send an email to us about tips, suggestions, problems, etc...

Thanks!!
