Thanks A Lot, Sitemeter!

I'd noticed that of late my Sitemeter numbers hadn't been growing very fast. I put it down to my writing being less scintillating that I'd like.

Apparently, though, scintillation is not the issue here:

Grr! Grr, I say!

1 That looks like one of those programs you get on exercise bikes at gyms. Or so I've been told.

2 Now that's just WRONG! I stop by EVERY day, so obviously there's a problem with sitemeter...

3 Heck, one of your March 16th posts got 7 comments--between the 16th and the 19th, when you had NO visitors! You must be magic...

4 Wish I had that particular problem.

5 I'm using four different site tracking services (2 of which came with my site host), and all four have different figures. So don't feel too bad.

6 Even when it's working "correctly" it only picks up about 2/3 of the actual visits. It also doesn't snag aggregator hits so anybody reading you off of xml (um...like me) won't count. Plus, if you're loading slow and that graphic never gets loaded the visit doesn't count. And they go through periodic periods of crap in unexplained and mysterious manners.

Then again, it's free.

7 Been goin' thru the same shit.
Stat Counter kicks butt.
You should try it.

In the last five days (since I had it installed), it has counted 560 hits, compared to Site Meters 246, in the same amount of time.

Another lady I have blogrolled (My b/f is a Twat) has had the same problem. Site Meter dropped 4000 hits off her total.
What is UP with them, anyway?

8 Cool. I've put Statcounter on as well. Let's see how it goes!

9 I seem to have pretty good consistency usin' SiteMeter, but unlike most, I have it way up at the top of my page, so that is is one of the first things to load. Besides, I know that I get like 1700 people a minute readin' me on aggregators anyway, so those numbers are just for show to the hometown folks.
