SC4 Conversion!

Thank you one and all for your invaluable help and feedback as we developed, tested and improved the new SC4 system!

We are delighted to let you know that conversion to the new system will begin this weekend…

What’s new in SC4?

  • Exit link tracking – to allow you track the destinations of visitors leaving your site
  • Download stats – to allow you track stats for pdf and other files available on your site
  • Faster-loading country stats
  • Improved reliability and redundancy
  • Improved loading speed of StatCounter code
  • Greater technical flexibility to allow for continued system improvements

Do StatCounter members need to do anything?
No! Our tech team will be doing all the work so you don’t have to lift a finger!

Other information
Partition 3 (c4) will be the first partition to be converted. Conversion will take place this weekend when traffic is generally lower and is expected to take a number of hours.

During conversion, stats will continue to be recorded BUT access to stats will NOT be available. Full access will be restored asap and we will keep you updated on progress in the service status forum.

Please note that if any unexpected problems are encountered during the conversion process, the partition will be returned to the current system to limit the disruption to members. Another conversion attempt will then be made at a later date.

New Projects Created

Note that all new StatCounter projects created from this point, will automatically be created as SC4 projects.

  1. Congratulations on this move; your progress has been impressive.

    In the interest of maintaining that progression, I wanted to bring to your attention what we perceive as an unwelcome advertising ploy that you may need to investigate.

    During my tracking, the below is what came up, and I’m not happy to click on a site visit only to discover it’s advertising. And, I’d welcome any feedback from you and fellow users…

  2. I can’t wait for the exit page stats and that’s the only big thing that was missing from this service. I’ve been using this for 4 years now as my main webstats service and it’s going to be even more awesome!

  3. Has this been implemented yet for those of us who did not put new code onto our sites?

    I keep looking for a navigation link to the downloaded .pdf’s and dont see any. Is that how it will work?

    Or will these .pdf results show in the individual visitor activity logs?

    Should I just change the code on my site to the new SC4?

  4. Hooray!

    So this means too we can delete any extra codes we had implemented for the beta?

    TRUE !

  5. You are worth every penny I spend here. StatCounter helps so much in knowing what content my readers are looking for; the new stuff sounds fantastic. pats on the back to all of you and wishes to everybody here for a great 4th of July. best, KayDay

  9. I’ve been using SC4 with a new project website for about a week, and with the exception of a couple small bugs, which have been fixed, it’s excellent. Even better than any paid statistics services I know.

    Great work, StatCounter team!

  11. How is the conversion going? http://www.askTheAdmin.com NEEDS to know :)!

  12. Glad to see a lot of hits on my site from Dublin. I appreciate your taking the time to do all that testing.

    I love StatCounter.

  13. Just out of curiousity what is the ETA of completion of full conversion. The reason i ask is that im re-launching my website on the 7th July and want to be able to start tracking downloads then.

  14. This seems like a stupid question, but I want to check: I just created a new project, which includes Exit Link tracking. However, the exit link options do not show up in my existing projects. Do I need to do something to make it appear for those, or will this just automatically happen when the updating is complete? Thanks – and thanks for all the backend work you do, too.

  15. An upgrade to an already superior software is simply like having Christmas in the middle of summer.

    This is fantastic news!

    HURRAY!!!

    great service thanks!
