Conversion Update!
Hi all,
We’d like to take this opportunity to update you about the conversion to the new SC4 system and also answer some queries that have arisen.
- Do I need to install new code to use SC4?
No! All existing StatCounter projects will be converted to SC4 so that all members will be able to enjoy the new features available. - I installed the beta code - what do I do about this?
When your standard StatCounter code is converted to SC4, you can simply delete the old beta code on your site. This is because your standard StatCounter code will start to collect all the new stats previously only available with the beta code. - Why can’t I see download stats or exit links in my stats yet?
Only one of our 40+ partitions has yet been converted to the new SC4 system. Once your partition is converted, then you will be able to enjoy the new stats! - What partitions have been converted so far?
Partition 3 (c4) is the only partition to have been fully converted as at July 11, 2008. Updates about conversion of further partitions will be posted in the Service Status area of our forum. - But I want to see download stats/exit links NOW!!
If you want to start tracking downloads or exit links immediately, then you could consider setting up a new project and adding a second lot of StatCounter code to your site. All new projects generated are automatically created on the new SC4 system. When your standard StatCounter code is converted to the new system, you can then simply delete the temporary code you added. - Why is conversion taking so long?!
Converting a full partition takes approximately one week due to the volume of historical data which has to be processed. Conversion of the first partition took extra time as we had to tread carefully and heavily monitor the conversion to make sure that nothing untoward or unexpected happened.
We are now in talks with a number of data centers in order to locate the best equipment, service level agreements and prices - continued conversion is postponed until we reach agreements with some of these third parties. - Is there anything that StatCounter members can do to help?
We are already so grateful for the help we receive from so many of our members - your unfailing encouragement and support are invaluable. In addition though, if anyone can recommend and provide contact details for colocation or datacenters, we’d be delighted if you could post the information below!

Just do whatever you see is fit. Thanks for all that you already do for us.

Thanks for confirming i could use a second lot of code to track downloads until conversion. I done that and was worrying if i was breaking TOS.
Thanks Statcounter

Wow! The new stats are fantastic. I didn’t know that I would find them so helpful. It’s easy to see if visitors are actually using the “read more about it” links that I provide for them, as well as what content they are downloading when available. Thank you for making an already useful tool even more amazing.
July 15th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Thanks for the update. Statcounter rocks

Data centers, proven very reliable: http://www.iweb.com (Canada)
Other server possibles known: new is http://www.gandi.net not sure of reliability, and http://www.gn.apc.org in England and thus probably expensive

Can’t wait for the complete conversion to Statcounter version 4 and see all the improvements. I personally do not mind if the conversion takes long, doing right is always better over quick and dirty. You guys are the best.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:29 am
Thanks for a great service!
July 16th, 2008 at 3:44 am
I really like the exit link activity that are on the converted partitions. Can’t wait for my other sites to be converted.
July 16th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I can hardly wait, but I am patient. When do you think they will ALL be done at this rate?

I noticed after the conversion I was missing a break after the statCounter display. Prior to the conversion the jpg after statcounter was on a different line. After the conversion statcounter and the jpg ended up on the same line. I have added after statcounter in my html, just figured I would let you know what I observed.
Thanks for a great product.
July 18th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Thanks a lot for your wonderful service
I just wonder what sequence does the conversion follow? Simply, Partition 3 (c4) will be followed by partition 4 (c5) or you are reversing back to partitions 1 and 2?
I’m hust trying to estimate when my partition(s) will be converted :s
Thanks a lot

I always have loved the service you provide, and the blog you have here is a great help on researching my Distance Education courses. I look forward to more of the upgrades.

Statcounter was already the best and it keeps on getting better. Many thanks!

Ah, I see. I was wondering what was happening since the bookmark straight to Summarry I had been using suddenly stopped working.
Anyway, great news - been waiting to get those clickout (exit link) stats for a while!

Thank you very much for the excelent service. Your offer is really great, and it makes people want to stay with you when they get money for upgrade (me included.). Congratulations!
July 26th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Good stuff, thanks for the update!
July 26th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
I run a site where the bulk of my visitors are sent straight out to other sites.
If I understand this correctly, then presumably this new code will let me see the link they clicked to leave the site?
July 27th, 2008 at 7:19 am
We have been getting great reviews from our many clients on the beta Statcounter.
They are savvy and demanding - so we know they have thoroughly analyzed all the trackers we have suggested to them.
It appears everyone likes either you or Sitemeter the best
July 27th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
You have to use Statcounter..

@”Advertising Agency”: Why in the world would anyone prefer Sitemeter to Statcounter?
July 30th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Thanks for the update!
July 30th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I LOVE the new features. I can’t wait for my sites on the old counter to be updated. Thank you for making all of this available. You have the best product I have seen.
July 31st, 2008 at 10:30 pm
So how many partitions are there to be converted?
Do you think it would be quicker for me to set up a new counter?
August 1st, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Argh…I am getting antsy for the update…I know this is free but the suspense is killing me! I hope my projects are converted over soon!
August 2nd, 2008 at 2:16 am
We love cuil.com . We beleive it has the most accurate search’s on the internet. We are enjoying top placement for the credit card site. We have been in business for 8 going on 9 years its great when the new search engine making tons of waves recognizes us. We love statcounter over goog stats. Best of luck to both in 2009. Feel free to visit us .

Hello all,
I can recomend a datacentre and i can host your servers. I can even lease brand new dell poweredge servers to you and colocate in my racks on 20 gig fibre.
Take a look at the site.
Regards James.

I use Stat Counter daily (probably multiple times with a couple of sites). Love the tool and appreciate your work.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Statcounter is by far the best free counter i have come across for accuracy, ease of use and understanding. It would be a great bonus to have something like “number of people adding the webpage to their favorites” like in Awstats. Great work
October 24th, 2008 at 1:42 am
Statcounter is the best free counter. i tried many in the past and am happy with statcounter.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
I noticed the new download stats one day for the first time on one of my Statcounter projects. I thought I’d dreamed seeing these stats when I went looking for them again a few days later and they weren’t there :). I was wondering what was going on - but my question was answered above - thanks.
