As some of you probably now know, WebTrends Live no longer offer the free Personal Edition of their statistics tracker.

Affected are hundreds of thousands of websites that still use

the free WebTrends Live Personal Edition to keep track of their

site statistics such as the number of daily visits and pageviews.





Many webmasters are probably oblivious of this change and still

display the WebTrends Live code on their site. Some are left

clueless as to which other free statistics trackers offer comparable

tracking that WebTrends Live Personal Edition once provided.







The email notice from WebTrends Live stated that past statistics

had been deleted and are no longer available. Members who wish

to continue using WebTrends Live need to upgrade to the eBusiness

Edition that cost $35 monthly.





In this brief article, I'll spotlight some free site statistics

trackers that webmasters may consider using.
