Question What stat counter to use?

Blogging is one thing, but you probably need to know how many visitors you have, where they come from, what they visit on your blog, ...
So my question to you all.

How do you monitor your blog traffic?$
Currently I'm using statcounter, but I'm looking into alternatives.

I use Google Analytics and love it. I have had 1 problem with it not working on one site so am currently trying the wordpress plugin stats.

Google Analytics is one of the best. I have 14 websites being tracked right now and haven't had an issue as of yet.

Good luck!

I use both Google Analytics and Statcounter. Google analytics provides the most information but statcounter is nice if you want to share your stats with other, potential advertisers for example.

Which feature lets you share the stats is this in statcounter, how does it work?

Sounds like a nice little feature.

On the settings page of your project, you can make your stats public so others can see them.

I couldn't get the google analytics to run, but have decided I am perfectly happy with the Sitemeter. Now only need to understand all the information it provides? (lol)
