Put Statcounter on your Smugmug SiteIf you want some fairly in-depth stats for your last 100 page hits then Statcounter may be your tool of choice. However, due to a bit of a conflict in terms there has been a boatload of confusion about how to actually set up your statcounter script on your smugmug site. So let's go over it a bit shall we?
First thing's first, you have to actually sign up for Statcounter. See the fine forum at the statcounter site for any help you may need with signing up or using statcounter.http://dgrin.smugmug.com/Tutorials/SmugMug-Site-Stuff/Put-Statcounter-on-your/Google-Analytics-3/50802289_8ipag-Ti-1.jpghttp://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1092684_Yu4fp/2006-03-19T04:21:59ZCopyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
