There’s definitely truth to that – though I think there’s room for both, and actually lots of usefulness in both. Which do you use? And have you tried comparing them to see the differences?

It’s all very well, but there is nothing as good as your website hosts server stats counter as cookie based ones can be blocked/misled etc.

If you want accurate results, then you might need to pay.

If you want a basic counter like stat counter etc, or google analytics or clicky then fine, but if it’s for real business, I BELIEVE you should stick with the site host’s method’s. That is my opinion based on what I know. If anyone has alternative opinion’s and experience of webhost based counters then please post your experience.

Thanks. I installed it on one of my domains, brought up a page, then went the Clicky – and sure enough, there was record of the visit.

I have to admit it’s pretty cool not waiting 24 hours for results. So I’m going to play around with it for the next few weeks.

Good points – but for me at least, I’m not that worried about the https support. I don’t really care if someone else can see my stats, but maybe that’s just me. Ad-free’s a great point, though… what do you use?

Thank you for the article. We use Google Analytics over here, but I wonder if Clicky will give us more. Definitely worth a test drive.

In free version of Clicky, we miss out the important feature – https support and its not an ad free version!!! So definitely not a way to go..
Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.

I’ll definitely be giving Clicky a test drive. I was leaning towards Mint to replace Analytics but Clicky looks powerful.

I’ve been a subscriber to performancing stats for a long time, but lately it seems they aren’t keeping up with Clicky – which runs on the same engine (I believe).

I am wondering if I switched to Clicky if they could import my old stats?

I use StatCounter.
