Not that we really even have stats to check, but we’ve decided to remove the SiteMeter free web statistics package from all of our pages. It seems they’ve elected to do a partnership with a shady internet marketing metrics provider called SpecificClick. They’ve started to fess up to it, but I tend to believe that before you go installing suspicious code that sets off alarms in millions of readers’ anti-spyware software, you should run it by your community and gauge the reaction. They claim they’re gonna be able to offer lots of gee-willikers features with this snoopy poopy junk in their counters. I just think it’s a rotten way to do business.

Plus there are better free Stats trackers out there anyways.

  1. Feel free to give GoStats a try. It’s a full freatured free service which doesn’t install cookie spam into your site. Plus GoStats already has a full depth of reports.
