Statcounter has far worse problems then any mere argument with PayPal or anyone else! Their entire site went down in early July 2008, after being in business for 8 years on the net. (I had been using them for the last 6.)

Without any warning, all my pages went blank where the Statcounter numbers should be showing, and link pages to them, even including their blogs, now all either come up blank or redirect to an unrelated fake search engine company.

Just look at Alexa, and you'll see that their graph chart for Statcounter clearly shows visits to the Statcounter site started dropping like a rock in July.

So what happened to Statcounter, anyway? I heard something in June about them converting to some improved system then, but that should have long since taken effect. If it didn't work, why didn't they just stick with their current version? At any rate, it's a total mess, and I have yet to get even ONE email from Statcounter about this!

I can only assume at this point that they've gone out of business.

Jen it wasn't your fault.. no one reasonable should be upset over this.. it's not like you controlled the explosion at theplanet.

I would strongly suggest INetU and I find their services highly reliable.

Wow, that's kind of sad that they don't have a solid disaster plan. Did you lose stats? I like gostats, it's great and I've never had any problems. (I have tried statcounter and it seems that gostats is a super upgrade :D
