As some of you probably now know, WebTrends Live no longer offer the free Personal Edition of their statistics tracker.
Affected are hundreds of thousands of websites that still use
the free WebTrends Live Personal Edition to keep track of their
site statistics such as the number of daily visits and pageviews.
Many webmasters are probably oblivious of this change and still
display the WebTrends Live code on their site. Some are left
clueless as to which other free statistics trackers offer comparable
tracking that WebTrends Live Personal Edition once provided.
The email notice from WebTrends Live stated that past statistics
had been deleted and are no longer available. Members who wish
to continue using WebTrends Live need to upgrade to the eBusiness
Edition that cost $35 monthly.
In this brief article, I’ll spotlight some free site statistics
trackers that webmasters may consider using.
