StatCounter has made yet another addition to their web analytics framework by adding the ability to label IP addresses that visit your site.
Here’s the offical post from the StatCounter Forum:
How this gives value to users:
- Help you identify click fraudsters
- Make it easier to see when “the competition” has visited your site
- Identify recurring visitors
- Let you see just how many times your mom has been admiring your site…
So no more spreadsheets, no more post-it notes, now you can name IP addresses which visit your site.
- Login to your account.
- Click the stats for your project.
- Click “Recent Visitor Activity”
- Click the new “Label IP Address”
- Give it a description and you’re DONE!
Here’s my dilemma… I have a blog and I have some people who visit more often than they’d like to admit. They wouldn’t tell me that they visit daily or even twice daily. I do have a list of readers and their stat counters but I don’t want them to know I know. The statcounter ip-label would be useful but wouldn’t they be able to view it if they clicked on the statcounter link & counter on the bottom of my page? They might see their initials or something and then they’d be so embarrassed. Any ideas? Thanks Sue
I believe with Statcounter IP Labeling you can only see the data in your reports (once you login). You can also make the counter invisible as well.
