[OPLINTECH] recommendations for a site counter?

[Laura Solomon]

Hi Lynne, 

To really understand how people use your library's website, you need more than a hit counter. I recommend using something like Google Analytics, which is free, easy to install and will give you all kinds of data that will help you determine how people are actually using and traversing through your site, the browsers they're using, and where they're being referred from.

Hello colleagues, 



We've recently revamped our website and would like your 

input on a reliable site counter. I'm specifically looking at 

the invisible StatCounter ( http://statcounter.com/ ) but am 

happy to consider alternatives. 



Thanks 

Lynne
