NEW: Restricted Public Stats
With StatCounter you have always had the option to make your StatCounter stats public. This feature allows you to provide visitors to your site with a link to view all your StatCounter stats.
Further to many requests we have now implemented Restricted Public Stats. This option allows you to provide visitors to your site with a link to view only the “Summary Stats” page of your StatCounter stats.

To enable/disable public stats:
- Log in to your StatCounter account.
- Click the ‘lock’ icon beside your project name.

- Click your preferred option
- Public Stats are Disabled
- Only Summary Stats Are Public
- All Stats Are Public
- If you are making your stats public, note the URL to use to send visitors to your StatCounter account e.g.
http://my.statcounter.com…project_id=xxxxxx&guest=1 - Click ‘Upgrade Project Access’ and that’s it!

Thanks, I was waiting for this feature since long.
Well Done!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Awesome, I’ve never allowed public stats before because everything was visible. This rocks.
June 19th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Oh this will be great for blogs, good call! =)
June 19th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
This is awesome! If only you guys offered it as an embeddable widget (hint, hint).
June 20th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Pretty cool. This can be for example useful when you want to show advertisers how much traffic your site is getting.
June 21st, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Thanks, the previous public stats will allow your rival to steal all your keyword and data T_T This could be handy
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:04 am
Nice idea!!! I really like this idea for implementing into my blog. East or west, Statcounter is the best…
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 am
Good developments folks, thank you very much. I’m testing it.
June 24th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
that’s good option. thanks
June 25th, 2009 at 2:54 am
Yeah! You’re sooo great… Even It been released… maybe I’m not using for now… maybe in the future… But still, good job, well done!
June 25th, 2009 at 7:25 am
thank you so much for this option
June 25th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Thanks a ton! really nice option!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
This’s such an awsome feature.
Thanks so much, Statounter Team
June 26th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Another very good feature by StatCounter.
June 26th, 2009 at 10:21 am
We appreciate you adding this option……..thanks Statcounter team………
June 28th, 2009 at 12:52 am
I think it is wonderful, specially the sites receiving good traffic will be able to impress it’s user base without disclosing full stats. Small players will be able to show their gradual progress. Nice addition.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:36 am
Nice work fellas
June 30th, 2009 at 7:08 am
This will work well for blogs and other community websites. The entire social gathering around the website can watch the traffic, but only allowing the basics to show. This is an excellent idea. This addition could grow into more adjustments as far as public stats since it will surely be well received.
June 30th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Thanks for adding this feature! The Statscounter team never fails to put out great options and this is right up there!
June 30th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Thanks. Frankly I haven’t seen the benefit of showing one’s stats to their visitors yet, but it may change with time - in which case the development will come in handy.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
The histograms look good, but the accompanying text leaves the impression that knowing your visitors’s IP addresses, you obviously could find out some details about them - which is indeed the case, wrt their PCs.
Unfortunately, this would not bode well for me and my sports websites, as the main visitors are those who play in our local league and who would quote the UK’s Data Protection Act to me.
However, I have produce my own statistical output (on my website), by producing an Excel Table, from monthly visitors.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I think that is a very powerful addition to the already great statcounter feature list, however, I think most people don’t use public stats at all. Maybe a little bit of promotion on why publicizing your stats could be a good thing (especially for advertising driven sites that need to sell people on how many visitors actually come).
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I agree, I do wonder how many folks use the public stats feature. However I love statcounter and depend on it!
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
That’s neat. I’ve only used invisible counters so far, but I have shown off my visitors on a few sites in the past. Restricted public stats is one more argument for doing it, since the information revealed this way is at the minimum.
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Very good feature, thnx Statcounter!
July 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Great stuff, goes to show that you are responding to customer needs, well done (again!) statcounter!
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:30 pm
gread feature!!!!!
thank you statcounter!!
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:53 pm

This was the thing that was missing!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Great option .. thanks alot.
July 8th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
hi .i need for my website a tool similar like url builder but not being related with an adwords account.like i need to get ctr statistics from 100 landing pages and keep track of all of them in the same time.will you develop smthng like that soon?
July 8th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Hi,
My friend suggests statcounter for my blog (it’s also a new one:( ) Now I’m analysing visitor path and etc. This option is also a great one. Thanks for your new options.
Cool and interesting. I’m new to internet
July 8th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
It was really the first time I tried this option as I pretend to keep my stats desable to the public.
Any way it looks that the statcounter staff is allways sending improvements to the sistem, keeping the lead on site counters.
Good job.
July 9th, 2009 at 4:59 am
Very cool idea !
Thanks, it works great !
July 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Nice work! Yeah, that’s stopped me from publicizing stats for years.
July 10th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Great services from statcounter. I will try this
July 10th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Cool. Some times i need to blocked my stat from another people

July 16th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Convinient tool for webmaster.

July 16th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Very useful.
Is there a way to customize the appearance of the public summary stats?
July 17th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Ideal for webmaster.
thanks
July 17th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Hi,
Thanks a ton, this is great info. It shall be ideal for me.

Madhan.
July 19th, 2009 at 10:36 am
would be good if public can view the stats abt hotspot pages only…
July 19th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Does anyone know why on some projects I have a “view downloads” option and on some others I don’t have it?
As it happens, the option is only available for those sites where I have no downloads and viceversa (!?)
July 20th, 2009 at 9:09 am
It’s rocks, i will try this service. Thanks
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:12 am
I like this option that you’ve introduced.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:46 am
powerful,could be a good thing.

July 22nd, 2009 at 5:47 am
good things
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Everyone needs to keep in mind, that those of you that allow other ppl to view the stats in it’s entirity, you are placing many ppl at risk for cyber attacks…. If you click on the “receient page activity” tab, you’ll notice that the individual’s IP address is also listed…Though many are using a proxy, many more are not…With just the IP alone, if a person knows what they are doing, they can very easily wreck havoc….I’m not tring to tell you all how to manage your sites, but it’s just a word of warning…
Blessed Be Peaceful Journey

If i ever need to display stats to public, i will choose restricted access. Not all stats should be make public as it may go either way. (My Views) Yes there is no harm in displaying number of visitors daily. i welcome “Summary Stats” feature of statcounter.
Good work.
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:09 am
Very nice. I am trying to understand how publicizing my stats could help . . ..
Thanks!
July 24th, 2009 at 10:20 am
Good feature.
Well Done!
July 25th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Great features, easy to implent!
July 26th, 2009 at 6:16 am
Great service. I will use this. Thanks
July 26th, 2009 at 6:18 am
Another good to restricted public stats. I like this
July 26th, 2009 at 6:19 am
Very nice, i will try to use it
July 26th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
I like it. Before i didn’t want others to know where my traffic was coming from.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Thanks a lot for the upgrade, I think This is what enough for the General public to know about our website, and it will restrict any geeks and competitors from knowing about our Keywords etc,
July 27th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
great new feature but I agree with a poster above. It would be nice to have an embeddable widget!
Thanks
July 27th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Hi guys - yet another well done for a fantastic service! Ive used statcounter for my own & my clients sites for a good few years now & its always brilliant to see a company still striving to improve an already super service! Well done, congrats & thanks!
July 27th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
I’m in love with Statcounter and I don’t care who knows it…you guys rock. This is super handy to be able to restrict the access of your stats at that level. Love it.
July 28th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Awsome Stat Counter just keeps getting better.
July 28th, 2009 at 11:07 pm

August 5th, 2009 at 3:59 am
