Linda, this sounds like a real good way of tracking activity on a website.  Is the $179.95 the total annual charge or are there other charges involved?

That's what I pay George! 

P.S.  Atlanta was great.  I think my panel gave birth to a bunch of new baby bloggers.

That is great Linda.  My trip to Atlanta was also time well spent.  I picked up some valuable ideas and tools that I can use with the new Loan Officer the I hired to help her stay more focused and that will also help her track her activity better.

Linda thanks for the great review on this.  I've been meaning to get more serious about my web presence.  I must check this out.  Thanks!

Maggie - Whenever we meet someday, I plan on giving you a big squeeze. 

P.S.  Tina's number is 408-725-9377.   She's really helpful.

oh Linda, that is TOOOOOOOO funny.  You got a hearty laugh from me on that one.  Thanks for Tina's #.  When I get some time next month I will look into this.  Now I better get back to my studying.  Wish it were that easy to tear oneself from AR.

I think you own Dirt Devil though right? :-)  This does sound like a premium service. When I grow up I want to be just like you.

Thanks for the review, Linda.  I'm definitely going to check this out!  On their site it looks like the price is per website/blog.  I guess since your blog is part of your website, you get two-for-one, huh?

This really sounds like an great tech tool.  I had never heard of it.  Thanks for the heads up!

Interesting tool... thanks for sharing.

Sounds like cool technology, Linda. Thanks for sharing. I am off to look into this. I love this stuff!

Jeff

hmmm-I think I need a webmaster.

Hi Linda,

Once again thanks for the great info, sooooo much to learn.  At this point not sure if I can handle one more addiction.

Thands for postin Linda. It sounds like a fabulous tool that I will have to check out. Portland Oregon Here

Very cool tool Linda -  Thanks for sharing   LP

great way to track visitors

I love technology!

Linda ~ what an interesting and useful widget.  I must have one! Thanks for sharing.

kk

Great info - thanks for sharing!

North Reading here!  Thank you for the info!

Thanks everyone! I got behind on the comments overnite.   I really think it is a very cool product.   I've already checked this morning  and my last visitor was from West Lafayette, Indidana!

GO WEST LAFAYETTE!

GO VISISTAT!  Can we start drinking during the day?  LOL

Wow! That offers more than any of the other counters I have been trying out. I have multiple different ones I am using at once so I can see which ones are more accurate and the benefit that each could provide. None of them come close to this. Thank you so much for sharing! 

Looks like an awesome tool! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Linda- Thank you.. I went to their web site and I like it..

Linda another great tool to keep an eye on the website.  Thank you for sharing.

That is a really great site. May be someone is slipping something in your water....lol

Linda,

I've just recently begun using Visistat and I'm very impressed! Great product that I'd definitely recommend. Nice to see that others agree! 

I've been using SiteMeter. It's FREE. It tracks ISP, exit & entry pages, time spent, visitor's location, and several other things. It's fascinating.

There's one particular ISP in San Francisco that keeps visiting. Still trying to figure out who that person is.

Thanks for the great info! I just signed up for their free trial and wow! I'm watching the live visitor feed right now and it's telling me who's on my site, what page they are looking at and where they are from. THIS IS A COOL TOOL -- how did I ever do business before this?!

Thanks for the resource.  I signed up for the free trial as well.  Not sure I'll continue, the price seems rather high next to Urchin (paid) and Google Analytics (free).

Linda, you continue to amaze me. you are teaching the teacher of techies... that make you like a techie-yoda or something!! :))  i hope this is free.. i'll have to take a look.. hey! are you hollerin' West Palm Beach right about now!?! :))   see you later Linda.  (ps. you know Linda means beautiful in Spanish right?!)  :))

This is a pretty cool tool. I'm gonna try the free trial for sure. Thanks for the good tip! 

I subscribed when Linda did and have used this tool for many months. I just wanted to comment on Tina. She did an awesome job in service. I highly recommend anyone contacting her.

I looked at Visistat after you posted about it. Have you looked at Statcounter.com or Sitemeter? Free or a smal charge for upgrades?  Seem to do the same things.

Linda,

As always, good information. I've been asleep at the wheel of my Blog for some time now, but I see you haven't! I'll have to look into this tool and get back in the game. Thanks for the tip!

Must have new gadget...cant sleep until possess new gadget...

Thanks for the post and the heads up Linda.  With the price, I would be a little leery of spending so much without a good endorsement.  But it sounds like a great tool! I am going to check it out. Cant go wrong with the free trial.

Is it bad to drink during the day?  :)JK.

Thanks again.

Nancy 

Great information, Linda. Thanks for posting. As always great post.

Thanks for the info. looks like a great tool

Go Augusta Ga.

I enjoyed reading your info - however, I have a salesman calling me now.  Very disappointing.

sales guy called me too.  i guess he didn't check the do not call list.
asked him, got anything for free?  nope. sorry. bye.   -nick m

That is really annoying. Actually I'm a bit angry about it.  I write about products I use all the time.  Hopefully that is the only time that has ever happened.

I got a sales person too.  Two of them actually.  I guess I am just REALLY lucky.

I just sent them to voice mail land, not a big deal really.  They didn't call today, so maybe they have reached their voicemail-leaving limit.

I still like the product!  It the best stat counter I have seen. 

Thanks Nancy!  I really love the product too but don't like that they called people.  I've written about lots of different products that I use.  In fact, wrote a blog with a ton of stuff and I don't believe anyone followed up on that one.

Linda, I got a sales call also, the guy was very polite and not pushy.

Hi Linda - You have a great website - and the info you have passed on is amazing!  Thank you.  Have you ever used the personal cardscan?  "capture organize and manage your contacts"?

Thank you Linda for the review.  I am going to check it out.  Sounds like you and your assistant have alittle fun at work!  That's great, you need some fun now and then.

I received notice today from Tina at Visistat that the salesperson who made the calls is no longer with the company.  She apologized for any intrusive behavior.l

Margaret - thank you for the nice words.  I have never used a personal cardscan.  Let me know if you try it!

Hi Linda!  I was having a perfectly productive morning until I saw this post.  Now I must drop everything and get the StatCaster.  My webmaster and I have been desgining our next site update and there are all manner of optimizers and statistics gathering tools that we are planning to use that will incorporate that general functionality, but I like this tool gives you real time info on your desktop.  Could be dangerous though, I think I might sit and just stare at it all day!

What a great product, I will check it out, thanks=)

I am so glad you talked me into signing up for this stuff-I was looking at my stats today and one of my very 'live' prospects read everything i've written on my blog last night.  great reason to contact him today!

Great post and a great tool.  I was looking for something like this. 

Leigh - I knew you would love it!

Seth - Glad it helped!

I am in the process of having a website designed now and as soon as it is complete I will be checking this out! I had never heard of it before but I am completely intrigued! Thank you for posting!

Hi Linda. Thanks for sharing the great tip! Keep them coming.
