Seems Sitemeter pulled off a rather large “Swing and a Miss!” here as of late. Did a site upgrade and NOBODY liked it at all.
There’s been several Bloggers asking for a nice alternative and I have one! 
It’s called Gostats.com, and it is super duper whipper dipper flipperly nice. (that’s real nice for all you normal folk….) I have been a registered user there since Sarah Palin was in High School. (Okay, that’s a stretch.. since Feb of 2006 
)
They also did an “Upgrade”, which I gently told the owner looked like warmed over poop! However, They were smart enough to keep the old style on their server, with a link.
They offer a high falootin’ Javascript that can count just about everything, including maybe the hairs on your pointed little head…..and for those of you who shutter at the thoughts of running anything Java, there’s also an old fashioned HTML counter as well. Only drawback is, less hairs counted. or in this case, less detailed stats.
For those of you, who have more money than common sense, there is a paid member option. But if you’re tightwad like me. The free service works absolutely fine. There’s no crippling in the service. That I know of anyhow.
…and in case you look at gostats and it makes you want to perform otherwise not normal bodily functions, you can also try getclicky stats. I don’t like them as much. Because there’s function restriction and you have to pay to get full access. But it does make a good back up counter system.
