Well there's been a lot of discussion over this counter already, but it seems a lot of people are talking before they've even actually used it.
Well anyway.. I've been running it on some of my sites for just on a day now and I really like what I see so far.
The most important thing for me is naturally it's speed and accuracy.
Well admittedly there's not much load on the server yet, but so far it's consistently been the first counter to pop up on my pages when they are loaded.
Also, the stats are EXTREMELY close to what my scripts report, and that's with the button at the bottom of the page.
So that's two thumbs up there.
Now we get to the details. The stat reports seem very easy to navitgate, and just about every detail I need is there. Web browsers, screen depth and resolution, platform, referrers (seems to do a much better job at catching referrers than some of my other counters - not sure why), and of course, returns, uniques and hits.
Almost all these stats can also be broken down into months, weeks, days, and hours.
The stats aren't overloaded with uneeded java, and so everything loads very quickly, and I can find my way around ALOT more simply than some other counters.
Anyway.. That's my experience so far. Hopefully it'll continue to remain accurate when the server load picks up a bit more.
But I'm happy at the moment.
Jason.
