Ahhhh!! My StatCounter is Broke..

Yeah, so getting ready to post about my banner day (highest single day since I launched the site a couple months ago), and go to check final stats and notice that something is awry..

My numbers hadn’t changed since I had checked it last several hours ago - very unusual, no, impossible.. Turns out that it stopped counting somewhere around 6:30 yesterday evening, and I was already at 527 pageloads, and 319 visitors for the day WOW!!

What is going on here, and why the jump in visitors today??

Stumble it!

    ermmmm?
    Maybe in anticipation of your Wordless Wednesday?

    That sucks. You know, I never check my stat counter. It doesn’t tell me all the cool info others seem to do, so it just doesn’t seem worth int. Plus, I don’t think I get many visitors anyway.

    Claire’s probably right. the anticipation for Wordless Wednesday is probably it.

    Hi Ryan. Several of my projects use statcounter and personally? I love them.

    However, I have noticed “glitches” in stats sometimes. I think it hiccups sometimes and simply stops recording hits. But, it usually catches up at some point. I’m wondering if maybe that’s what happened to you? Perhaps your stats have finally caught up?

    Hey Everyone!!

    Yes, it did in fact catch up, and is now showing stats again. :]

    I ‘was’ going to apologize and say those extra few hundred hits were me…. but I’d be lying - it was probably Claire.

    :-)

    Got here via Claire’s today, so it was probably her… So sorry about your dog, the photo below is beautiful.

    Yes it was me! I visit about 2000 times a day. Trying to sell net thingie phones and viagra.

    Hi Ryan,

    Apologies for the disruption with StatCounter and glad to hear it’s working fine again.

    If you have any trouble in future, please don’t hesitate to contact us straight away.

    By the way, Margaret, I’d be interested to know what cool info we don’t provide…we’re always improving so your feedback would be great!

    Thanks and good luck!

    Hey Jenni, thanks for stopping by!

    It’s amazing to me that we don’t realize how much we depend on something until we are suddenly not able to use it! StatCounter has been a wonderful resource and of course I will continue to use it (and praise it).

    Thanks again.

    Ryan
