Track Your website, stalk your fans

It's weird sometimes blog's get popular and the reader can feel stalked or violated when random users stumble upon their personal spot out in cyberspace. Luckily for me, I have yet to hit worldwide acclaim. So instead, I stalk the very few fans I may have.

Well I don't stalk them as much as I watch closely things like how long people are looking at the site when they visit, where they are checking the website from, and how often they come back. I do this all for free, and until now, in secret with Statcounter. Statcounter is free, it installs into any website as a piece of code and can track things like page hits, unique hits, keywords found, search engines used to find, city and states of individual visitors, and much much more. It really is a great free product.

Statcounter has also shown me that a lot of my users are not using firefox. This could not be a bigger mistake. Firefox is fast, free and way more secure. The plug-ins are also great.
It really is worth downloading and trying firefox. Tabbed viewing may take some time getting used to, is simply superior. Also through Google AdSense, I get paid if you click my link to firefox. Now wouldn't you like for me to get paid?
