New at Motigo Webstats: Live counter for your website

Thursday October 1st, 2009

Many webstats users have asked us for a graphic counter that would display the number of page views on their website. Today, we are happy to introduce this new feature: Here is the webstats live counter in multiple designs to choose from!

With this new widget you can display a summary of your visitor statistics directly on your website to keep you and your visitors always informed.

The live counter updates automatically so there is no need to reload the page to update the numbers. It is displayed to all visitors who have Adobe Flash Player version 9 or newer (which covers 97%-99% of all users). Even if some of your visitors don’t have Adobe Flash Player, there’s no reason to worry - ALL visitors will be registered  :)

Want to get a live counter straightaway? You only have to replace the counter code on your website:

1) Login at Motigo

New on webstats: Exclude your own visits

Thursday October 1st, 2009

With the new webstats feature “Exclude my own visits”, you can get more accurate visitor statistics by choosing the data that’s relevant for you. Up to now, your webstats counter registered all visits. The result: Your visits as webmaster were also registered amongst all the other visits. With our new feature you can now exclude your own visits and get more relevant statistics.

You’re wondering how does it work? It’s simple: It works by setting a cookie in your browser. However, if you delete your cookies or use a new browser or computer, you must log in and go to “My counters” to enable the function again.

How to exclude your own visits:

1. Login to motigo

2. Click on “Webstats”

3. Click on “Exclude my own visits”

Did you know that… You can use the same counter code on all pages of your website to measure total website traffic?

Monday May 25th, 2009

The motigo webstats counter analyzes the website traffic of the page where the counter code is inserted (this is usually the index page, where most visitors arrive in your site). However, if you are interested in measuring the total traffic of every single page in your site, you can do it also, adapting the webstats statistics to your personal needs. Here are two examples of how to use motigo webstats.

1) You want to see traffic numbers for all pages of your website in one statistic page:

In this case, insert the same counter code on all pages of your website (one simple way to do it is to insert it on a template which is used in all pages, this avoids the work of inserting the code manually in every page).

Using the counter this way, will show total number of visitors to your website in your statistic page (the traffic of all pages will be measured).

2) You want to have detailed statistics about every page of your website:

If you need individual statistic details for different pages of your website (for example, if you want to compare traffic between the pages), just create a different webstats counter for each page. Make sure that you insert the different counter codes on the different pages. This way, each page is measured individually and you get detailed information about the visitors of each page (where do they come from, how did they find the page, etc.). To compare traffic volume between the pages, you can use the option “compare counters” on your webstats overview.

PS: You can only use the same counter on different pages of the same website / domain (eg, on www.xy.de, www.xy.de/page1, www.xy.de/page2, and so on). It is not allowed to use the same counter on different domains (e.g., to use the same counter on www.xy.de and www.vz.de as this would falsify site statistics).
