Calling all Volunteers!!

Hi Folks,

New StatCounter System – In Beta

We have been working on the new and improved StatCounter SC4 system…now we need your help to test it.

A lot of changes have been made ‘under the hood’ and won’t be immediately apparent; however some of the immediate benefits include:

  • Faster Loading Keyword and Country Stats
  • Exit Link Stats
  • Download Stats

Testing… Testing… 123…

MOST importantly the new system paves the way for other exciting new features … so watch this space!

How do I try out SC4?

It’s easy!

You need to create a new test project. This code should be added underneath your existing StatCounter code.

Note that you should retain your existing StatCounter code for now… Once the new system is fully operational we’ll convert all projects over to SC4 automatically.

To get started:

  • Login to StatCounter with the “remember me” option
  • Point your browser at this URL
    http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/add.php?sc4=1
  • If successful the form should now read “BETA TEST SC4 PROJECT SETTINGS” then proceed as normal to install this new code below your current code.

(Note that if you logout and login again you will be directed back to the current StatCounter system.)

Thanks for your help with this – and we’d be delighted to have your feedback posted to the comments of this blog post.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the feedback so far. As the comments are getting a bit crowded we’ve created a new forum for you to discuss your ideas. Please click here to get talking about SC4! (Note: you need to register a forum account in order to post.)

Let the testing begin!

  1. I’m fairly new to all this tracking fujumyflip, but what the heck – here goes – in for a penny, in for a pound!

    I’ve set up two more or less identical projects (one on the old system and the other on SC4). It should be interesting to see what kind of results they yield.

  2. Yes, I am on, Just added.

    Wising you success in this Beta testing result.

  3. I just added the SC4beta to my site. So far seems to be working fine.
    I love the exit link!! That was one thing I was hoping to have in the current system. It’s great!!

  4. Hi, Ive got both the beta and original statcounter on my pages, and the beta’s results are much higher than that of the original. (Which of course im happy with.) Some days its been almost double.

    Love the exit link touch, saves me having to track my own links.

    thanks

  5. Statcounter is really great, but I could not fix this new one. And… still some bots not recognized or no referal site and not showing my own url in the logs.

    Weird?!

  6. Statcounter is a wonderful service. I will be very glad to help test the new features during the coming week.
