Basic Math

I will say this, if Sitemeter hasn’t fixed this by the end of the day Friday I’ll be ditching them.

In the mean time, lets do a basic math lesson.

Early in the day (8:30am or so) on Aug 2nd my total visits according to Sitemeter was 2993.  You’ll have to take my word for that as I wasn’t smart enough to take a screen shot (You’ll also have to take my word for the fact that it ought to have been closer to 3993 as I didn’t take a screen shot of that either).

According to Sitemeter, here are my visits for Aug 2nd and since.  (this does not include MY personal visits):

So, some math: 2993 + 120 (SOME of the visits from Aug 2nd had already hit by that time, no idea how many but I’ll guess) + 117+65+37+41=3373 visits.  Right?

Here’s a screenshot from my Sitememter account as of about a minute before I started typing this:

Strange how it doesn’t add up huh?  Yes, I’m pissed, how could you tell?


Sitemeter, I think you’re in trouble….

A screenshot from my new Statcounter stats:

People searching for help on why their Sitemeter account is screwy, and has been for days, have hit my sitemeter posts 3 (almost 4!) times the number of people coming into the main page.  Based on the comments I’ve been getting I’m not the only one who’s help tickets are being ignored either.  Now I can believe they’re so over whelmed with tickets that its just taking time….except we’re talking basic coding issues here, basic MATH issues here, that tell me there’s a deeper problem than just data lost during a server move.
