StatCounter Update

May 30th, 2007 in Website Tools by Dan

This post is for those of you that use StatCounter. I just found out today that StatCounter has increased their free account log size from 100 to 500. So basically you’ll be able to see 5 times the detailed history that you used to be able to see with the free account. Now before you rush out and sign up for a new account, you can just change the settings in your current account to take advantage up this update.

Here’s what you do:

- First, log into your account.
- Click on the wrench icon next to the project name you want to adjust.
- Choose “Adjust Log Size” from the list (its the 4th one down).
- Change the number to 500 and click the “Adjust Project Log” button.
- You’re done!

This is very easy to do so you shouldn’t have any problems. When you sign up a new project for another website it should automatically give you 500 as your default log size, so you really only need to worry about this with any older projects.

Another Update you should be aware of is that StatCounter has apparently improved the blocking cookie feature. So, while you’re in your account fixing your log sizes, go to the My Projects area, click on “Blocking Cookie” and create a blocking cookie for your projects. Thanks to StatCounter for staying on the ball with their great program!

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the update! It was very easy to adjust the log size, but I have a question about the blocking cookies. Do I still have to block cookies for each browser I’m using or is this taken care of already. Thanks again!

Sarah,
I would still go back and do the blocking cookies again just in case in the different browsers. If your browsers share cookies you probably won’t have to worry about it, but you might as well do it just in case.
