Hey Brett, any online stat services you think are reliable? I always thought Media Metrix was the best thing out there [naive]Me[/naive]

Hey James, I don't want to drop a URL here but do a search on Fast Stats by Mach 5. Doesn't beat looking at raw logs but it gives me what I want. Brian

Thanks GWJ, I use FastStats (have a problem with the phrases they report, incomplete most of the time). I am looking for stats of how much traffic sites on the Net pull, particularly smaller portals and directories especially.

I've yet to find any reliable counter service that tracks net usage. I think media metrix numbers are skewed to the point of being suspect. Not merely a matter of bad methodology, but some of the 'pockets' behind them makes what they publish questionable. I have a real problem with a site that claims to track browsers accuratly, yet they can't even get it right on their own site!? Fast Stats is a good little program. I've used it on a client's site for over a year because that is what they wanted. When looking at browser stats, always keep in mind that there is a growing number of agents spoofing as IE because there is a growing number of site admins who think that is what everyone is using. Compare a jscript based counter to real logs sometime - it's another one of those things that make you go hmmm.
