LiveCounter Plug and Play

* Demo. (Java disabled)

LiveCounter Plug and Play is a web page counting service based on the LiveCounter. LiveCounter originally made its mark as the first web page access counter with the ability to update its display as you watch. LiveCounter Plug and Play brings you more firsts, including live doorbells for web pages, geographical maps plotted on-the-fly, and multi-level log report generators.

 

• Log reports generator (view sample report): Use LiveCounter Plug and Play's log reports generator to examine the popularity of your web pages and to better serve customers and visitors to your web site by answering questions such as:
   

  How many users visit your page hourly, daily, monthly? Is it time to promote your site again? From which countries do visitors connect? What would it look like if you plot this information on a world map? Is it time to make your site multilingual? From what organizations, organization types and departments do visitors connect from? What are the most and least active hours of the day? Are you available to answer your customers during busy hours? What browser types, browser versions and operating systems are used to access your web page? Are your visitors capable of viewing your page as you intended it to be viewed?

   
  • Real-time statistics: Get the most current information using log reports generated on-the-fly (no need to wait for a specific time for the reports to be updated).

Q: I already have a counter. Can I transfer my current count to LiveCounter Plug and Play when I sign-up?

A: Yes. Please include a note to that effect in the comments section and the number you want your new LiveCounter Plug and Play to start at.

Q: Do I need to install any files or CGI scripts to get LiveCounter Plug and Play running on my pages?

A: No. LiveCounter Plug and Play is a hosted counter. All the necessary resources for the counter reside on the LiveCounter Plug and Play server. All you have to do is paste the HTML code you receive as-is.

Q: What happens if the number of hits to my counter exceeds the maximum number of hits allowed for the particular package I pick?

A: Your daily log report will indicate if your counter is receiving excessive number of hits. You can choose to upgrade by paying the difference between your current package and the one you're upgrading to. If you decide not to upgrade, your log report will display the maximum allowed number of hits per day.
