Like many bloggers, I have been using SiteMeter’s free counter service for quite awhile now. A couple months ago they had an outage, which brought down thousands of blogs. Now they have “improved” their services and people aren’t very happy about it:
5XMom.com - “Sitemeter has changed its format and it sucks! Whatever happened to those stats? Plus it takes a million years to get the information.”
TechNudge - “As you can see if you click the image, it’s turned into a steaming pile of useless crap.”
AftNews - “I have also paid accounts at sitemeter. Probably i’ll cancel them. Even statcounter is better than new sitemeter.”
I’m TOTALLY DONE with SiteMeter. Once a site starts acting assinine like eBay, I’m done. Another reason to leave them is I don’t trust them. Does anyone ever stop to think about what they are doing with all of that search data? Hmm…. I’m sure it isn’t helping you, that’s for sure.
Goodbye Sitemeter. For those interested, here’s a link providing some alternatives to SiteMeter.

yes, they turned it into a complete bloated piece of garbage now. I had several paid sitemeter accts for many years.
I have moved all my sites over to statcounter.com today
Theiw new look is piece of crap. They are just doing anything they want. Now they are converting back…
