Welcome from the Antipodes, Dan. Like your site.

My host provides some statistics, but counts visits to “philocrites.com” and “www.philocrites.com” separately. AddFreeStats provides more detail than I actually know what to do with, but allows me to see where people are visiting from. (This is extremely useful.) I just added SiteMeter because its free service allows me not to count my own visits to the site (in the service of deflation, you know).

Site meter is generally a pretty good stats tracker. And it is free.

My host provides fairly robust reporting, much more than I know what to do with. The most entertaining being search strings that have resulted in a hit to my site. My favorite so far has been “meditation instead of sleep”. Sorry, I don’t know anything about Site Meter.

I am glad you like it. A bit of intense discussion going on at the moment, but that is kind of what we like about it.
