daily traffic sample graph How does it work ? Installing a Web-Stat hit counter on your site takes no more than 5 minutes ; as soon as your account is in place it will initialize and start recording information about your visitors in real time (your traffic statistics are continuously updating as new visitors access your site).

Here is how it works : when you create a Web-Stat account, either a free trial or a full registered account, we give you a few lines of HTML code that you paste into your own site's HTML. That code will cause a hit counter image to display on your page (note that this image can be made invisible - one of the many options we offer - but technically it is still an image).

When a visitor accesses your site, his browser requests your page from your server and then goes on to load the hit counter image from the Web-Stat servers ; as soon as this happens we capture information on that visitor and record the data into your own personal log files stored on our machines. The whole process takes an average of 0.22 seconds, which makes Web-Stat one of the fastest loading hit counters available. You can then come to http://www.web-stat.com at any time, log into your password-protected account and check your traffic in real-time. To see an example of the information we will provide you with, please see our sample statistics.


What do I get ? Web-Stat comes in two flavors : free 30-day demo and full registered version. The free demo can be upgraded at any time to the full version simply by registering (use the 'register' link on the menu bar).

Registration costs per month ; it will give you a permanent account and bring you features not available on the free demo (see our comparison chart below) ; it is completely risk free since you can unregister your account at anytime, no question asked with a simple email to helpdesk@web-stat.com.

  • referrer tracking sample graphSearch engine and referrer tracking : We have developed search engine and referrer tracking further than anyone in this business. The 'Referrer Tracker' records the number of visitors sent each week to your site by search engines or referrers. It allows you to see how your referencing/marketing strategy works over the long haul (for instance, on the graph at right, the purple line shows the traffic sent by Yahoo ! to our sample site, week by week, over the last year ; red is AltaVista, black is Google, and so on). The referrer tracker automatically detects any referrer that links to your site (for instance a search engine, a site that you are partnering with in an effort to gain traffic, a particular newsgroup, email, etc).

  • User Support : We answer all queries, in 24 hours maximum (usually a few minutes to a few hours). Let us insist on the fact that we answer all questions and address all comments, even on week-ends.

  • Finally, we offer many options and some unique features, including :

    • invisible hit counter (no ads, no links, nothing on your page, yet visitor tracking continues)
    • repeat visitors versus first time visitors traffic analysis
    • exclude your own visits from being counted
    • give public access to your stats (or keep them private and password-protected)
    • 175 digit styles
    • and more !...

... and all that for per month, with a free 30 day trial and risk-free registration (if you buy from us and change your mind, send us an email : we will unregister your account, delete your credit card information and send you a confirmation message within 24 hours, no questions asked).
