SiteMeter: You’re Fired!

by manatee on September 14, 2008

Oh boy, it looks like we have an update on the Sitemeter Sucks Saga.  Earlier they decided to do an “upgrade” to their stats system which has led to a mass exodus to better services like Stat Counter.  I signed up for StatCounter and so far it seems to be doing the job.  I’m sure there are other services that are just as good and just as reliable as StatCounter… other services EXCEPT SiteMeter.

Now they are trying to apologize.  Sorry, SiteMeter… too little, too late.  So, now that they see they are losing money they can roll back to the old system?  Right.  SiteMeter, please get a clue.  You made a LOT of people angry when you screwed up a couple months ago and caused everyone’s blogs to go down.  Now you do this and expect us to welcome you back with open arms?

I don’t think so.  I actually paid for your services for awhile, but cancelled that after all of my blogs went down.

Did I get a credit for the hassle, inconvenience and lost revenue because someone over there made a stupid mistake?  Nope.

It would take a lot for me to go back to SiteMeter.  If they gave me a year credit for their premium services AND a personal apology, I might consider it.  Problem is they’ve burned me one too many times and I really DON’T TRUST SITEMETER anymore.

So, SiteMeter….. YOU’RE FIRED!

Anyway, just had to vent…. if anyone would like to recommend a good stats service, please leave a comment below.
