According to Statcounter, no one who visited yesterday visited today. This seems unlikely. Has anyone had success counting unique visitors, rather than hits? What do you use?

Hey Alex,

"Hall Pass" a script that sold on done deal yesterday used "Complications ensue" in the logline. Congrats.

Statcounter is wrong. I've been here multiple times on both days.

I think that if you set StatCounter's maximum visit length to, oh, say, one week, then a visitor who visits anytime in that one week period is considered to be on the same visit.

Try setting the max visit length to one day. Then a unique visitor who shows up a day later will be a returning visitor, and not a unique visitor, as StatCounters calls it.

I think.

I've been happy with Bravenet. The free version tracks hits, unique visitors, new and returning visitors, referring links, and whatnot for 7 days, the pro version for longer.
