Folks,
We recently announced the public launch of the new StatCounter site which is currently undergoing beta testing.
Sincere thanks to everyone who has submitted feedback so far!
To assist with beta testing, we’d like to point out some of the new features which you may find useful…
(1) Visits/Pageloads Option
Easily switch between viewing pageloads and visits on the Projects page.
(2) Switch Projects
Quickly flip between projects when viewing your stats – just click the drop-down arrow beside your project name.
(3) Hourly Stats
Watch the hour-by-hour evolution of your stats.
(4) Date Range Selector
Available for all stats – just click “narrow range”. Choose your preferred date range and check the stats only for that period. Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual options.
You can also compare different periods if you wish – just click “Add Comparison Period”
(5) Keyword Analysis – Options
As for all stats, switch between projects when viewing Keyword Analysis.
Or change the time period being examined by clicking “narrow range”.
Or download a file of all your keywords.
(6) Wrap URLS
Check/uncheck the box to truncate and expand very long URLs.
(7) Search Engines

Click on a Search Engine family to see a breakdown of the regional search engines sending traffic your way. E.g. Google breaks down to google.com, google.co.uk, google.ca etc
(8) Browsers
View the families of Browsers being used by the visitors to your site.
Click on a Browser family to see a breakdown of the different browser versions. E.g. Firefox breaks down to versions 4.0, 3.6, 3.5 etc
(9) Simplified Reinstall Process
Need to reinstall your StatCounter code? No problem! Simply go to “Config” then “Reinstall Code” – we’ve even created a nifty tool which will confirm if the installation has been successful – just click the button “Check Installation“.
Please keep all your feedback coming! The single best way to comment on the new site design is via the feedback button at http://beta.statcounter.com.
We can only improve with the help of your constructive criticism – so don’t give up on us! Please stick with us and let us know your thoughts as the design evolves in response to your comments and suggestions.
PS: As usual at this time of year, StatCounter has made charitable donations instead of sending cards.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all the very best to you all for 2011.
I’m always using statcounter not only because it’s comprehensive but also because it’s faster than its competitors. I hope it’s and will stay as the top statistics provider for websites.
Wasn’t aware of the Beta design until I just came to have a look around the blog! It’s looking great though – glad I popped in here! Will get back with feedback after a good trial of it 🙂 thx.
One feature I wish we had yet – often when the link from google is displayed, if we click on it it goes to my own website instead of to the google page showing the search. Because the link to google automatically redirects, it would be hard to prevent that possibly, but because statcounter does accurately evaluate the keywords perhaps a button could be added to do the search without invoking the redirect. Here is the search – http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kallenweb.com%2F&rct=j&q=website%20designers%20kalamazoo&usg=AFQjCNG83aGBZOmY3jp5lmMfvyEVHkv9LA – which takes me to my own homepage. But statcounter is correctly identifying the keywords as website designers kalamazoo the the search engine as google. Can I run that search on google without going to my homepage?
This is a great jump to your site.
It looks exellent, Im using now the beta only.
5 stars.
Just a idea???
Did you think to add the facebook as a browser???
Any way its a very good site.
Thanks for your support.
nice design and outlook…go to try it out to know if it suit me. But all the same, great job. keep it up.
This would perhaps be on topic, the email reports are also frustratingly limited, and actually encouraging users to have smaller log size. Why? because I can’t see any option to have my daily report be based on daily data! Other than page loads or uniques all the other data is apparently for the whole log. In other words I might be interested in a daily report actually based on 24 hrs of data, and I want want more than that saved in the log for other things…It seems like SC has the ability to work with the time periods really well, hope you can address this.
Thanks.
I actually tried the beta. The date selector drop downs take a little getting used to but are functional. I’m stunned I can’t figure out how to view all at once or download the data after a filter… Maybe I’m just not seeing it?
Please add a “show # per page” dropdown, or some other way to use the cool new date range usability to create a searchable *data set*. An html page is not a bad format sometimes. My favorite way to search for some tasks is Ctrl-F in a browser.
Sorry if it’s there and I didn’t see it.
Thanks!
So, cool!.
Thanks for the new features. The search engine stats is very required for proper optimization.
Me and my organisation have been with statcounter.com from the beginning and use it for our clients too.
Thoroughly free, thoroughly reliable, simple and great – cannot recommend it enough, and now it’s just got better.
Well done!
Impressive – really like the new features – much easier to navigate and install tracker codes
Thanks Statcounter Team
