Illustration above describes this blog’s traffic stats. The green bar denoted as amount of page loads. The blue bar denoted as unique visitors came to this blog. And the orange bar denoted as returning visitors. Generally we can see the bar chart in daily, weekly, and monthly report. I think we can’t see such kind of stats at ExtremeTracking.

Illustration above generated from ExtremeTracking and it describes only unique visitors came to this blog. Because I can’t find more detailed traffic about UV, page loads, and returning visitors, then I use UV parameter to be compared with stats from StatCounter.

It is clearly shown that daily unique visits generated from both websites are different. Let see StatCounter’s graph at each blue bar (it is UV), then compare it with stats generated from ExtremeTracking. There is nothing the same. Sometimes ExtremeTracking generated low traffic but StatCounter generated high, and vice versa.

Generally ExtremeTracking can give you highly simple stats from what it tracked from your blog’s traffic. This way you can monitor your blog visitors easily. But if you want to know more then you should use StatCounter. But as a free member we’ll get limited stats log capacity.

What can we get from ExtremeTracking and StatCounter? Basically you should get stats like illustrations below.

Just additions that you can download your blog’s stats in excel and CSV based database, if you are using StatCounter service even it is free.

So which one is the better for me to use? It is up to you. But since StatCounter allow you to track in invisible mode, so it is better to use both of them; StatCounter and ExtremeTracking. Monitoring statistics of our blog traffic can make us falling in love with our own blog. Don't forget to subscribe.
