Traffic stats via statcounter.com can be configured to display data of specific interest per day, week, month, quarter or year. So, for example, you can choose to view only pageviews for the period 15 Jan 2014 to 10 August 2014, or view pageviews, unique visits and returning visits for the Last 8 Weeks - virtually any configuration is possible.



Statcounter offers a "drill down" tool that allows you to drill down on your stats and view visitors relating to them. If you go to "Keyword Analysis" for example, by clicking the page magnifying glass next to a keyword, you will be able to drill down on that keyword to show all visitors who used that keyword in a search engine to find your site. And, of course, you can then click on the Magnify User icon to get a detailed report on the user and their navigation path through your site!



You can drill down on many stats, including Popular Pages, Referring Links, Entry and Exit pages and so on. For example, you could drill down on a page of particular interest - like a checkout page - and see the visitors who loaded that page, and subsequently magnify them to see how they got there. This kind of information is invaluable for optimising your most important pages and driving traffic to them - a combination of the drill down and magnify tools is my most potent ally. :)



StatCounter offers the ability to manage multiple websites from one account - no need to sign up for different accounts for different websites! Just create new projects for each of your sites, and you can manage your stats for them all from one account. To use this feature login to your StatCounter account. Click "Add Project" above your current project(s) and follow the wizard as before. Do not register a new account!



The site also allows you to provide access to your account for multiple other users. You can limit access to allow additional users to only view statistics for your projects, or only specific projects. To use this feature. Login to your account. Click the lock icon lock beside your project name. Tick or untick the users you want to have access to this project. To add more users click "Users" in the top navigation bar.



You can also show your website stats to the whole world via "Public Stats". To enable/disable public stats. Login to your account. Click the lock icon lock beside your project name. Tick or untick the box to "Enable public stats".



The link provided:

is your public stats link. You can link to specific stats such as the "Came From" by changing the link slightly to



http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/camefrom.php?project_id=XXXXXX&guest=1



I use Statcounter for all my sites. In fact, anytime I log online, I always track the most recent search queries driving traffic to my sites from search engines before doing any other thing. Easier and fast for me to track compared to using Google Analytics which I analyse once in a while. 



To get started, go to www.statcounter.com now. Sign up, add your site, install the statcounter code and you are good to go.



Are you using statcounter? Do you know other free web traffic trackers? Please, let me hear from you via comments.
