How does it work ? When you create a Web-Stat account we send you a few lines of HTML code to be copied inside your site. When a visitor accesses your pages, this code is triggered and we capture information on the visit which we record into your personal log files stored in our data-center.

You can then come to http://www.web-stat.com at any time, log into your password-protected area and check your traffic in real-time. To see an example of the information we will provide you with, please see our sample statistics.
The counter takes an average of 0.20 seconds to load, so installing Web-Stat on your site will not slow down the loading of your pages in any noticeable way.
It takes about 5 minutes to install a Web-Stat hit counter on your site and start monitoring your traffic in real-time. The only requirement is that you need to be able to access your web site to edit its content (you don't need to know or understand HTML to install Web-Stat)
What do I get ? Choose between a free 30-day trial and three registered versions (regular, plus and premium). The free trial hit counter can be upgraded at any time to any one of the full versions simply by registering (use the 'register' link on the menu bar).
A regular registration costs $5 per month ; it will give you a permanent account and bring you features not available on the free trial. The plus and premium versions contain additional stats (see comparison chart below). Registration is completely risk-free since you can unregister your account at anytime, no question asked with a simple email to helpdesk@web-stat.com.

Why choose Web-Stat ?
Search engine and referrer tracking : Web-Stat was developed to help you understand how visitors find your site.
The 'Referrer Tracker' records the number of visitors sent each week to your site by all search engines and referrers. It allows you to see how your referencing/marketing strategy works over the long haul.
On the example graph below the blue line shows the traffic sent by Google to our sample site, week by week, over the last year ; dark red is the pay-per-click engine Adwords, light red is Yahoo !, and so on.
The referrer tracker automatically detects any referrer that links to your site (for instance a search engine, an outside site with a link to your URL, a particular newsgroup, email, etc). It also detects and records keywords used to find you (see example keyword report, above on this page)
In the case of search engines, Web-Stat will also record automatically the keywords that visitors used and allow you to duplicate the searches that lead to your site. It will then give you a summary, by search engine, of your most popular keywords.
Ease of use : We aim for stats that make sense, that are simple, and that can be read and understood in a few minutes. Look at our sample stats page to find out in one quick glance all you need to know about the state of your traffic.
