Website Counter - StatCounter

When we talk about visitors traffic to our blog, apparently blogger will use counter service in order to track every counter on their blog. There are many counter services on internet, some are free and some are not. Its up to you if you want to use which counter is best suit to your requirement. But for me, free counter service is good enough. Oh, i want to be blunt to you, not every free internet service will give 100% free service. Normally, free is just for limited service. But if you want extra service (more setting, options), you must pay.

StatCounter is the good counter service that i want to explain now. Statcounter can provide you with quick access to some counter function on your blog. StatCounter have fulfill just right what i need. Its free. You just need to pay if you want more options (not quit useful for me).



More than that, statcounter have more advantage as below:

- you can display your counter or make it hidden. You can display statcounter logo only, maybe to support statcounter or want to tell your visitor that you blog have placed statcounter cookies.

- you can block counter from certain IP. For example, you can block counter from your static ip if you want to get 100% counter is only from your visitor.

- you can easily monitor your blog's visitor by make observation on your counter statistic. You can make changes on that statistic graph as you want. Maybe you want to track unique visitor only or just want to know at certain days. Just make any changes as you want to.

- you have 500kB free storage for your cookies information for keyword analysis, visitors ip etc. If you want more storage, thats you need to pay.


Not forget to mention, when somebody open your blog/website, his computer will get little cookies from statcounter. I think this is safe cookies and its just to know information from visitors computer such as ip, keyword, unique/first time/returning visitors etc. I have placed statcounter's logo in order to mention visitors that this blog will included cookies from statcounter.

If you want to use StatCounter, please register first at StatCounter.com. Click on "add new project" in order to place counter on your blog. Then you will be given some option and setting to make. For example, what is your blog/website address, option to display/hide your counter, etc. I am pretty sure all these settings are very simple for anyone.

World's Oldest Blogger Dies

Seorang moyang Maria Amelia Lopez yang memiliki lama blog meninggal dunia ketika berumur 97 tahun di wilayah La Coruna, Sepanyol. Laman blognya ialah amis95.blogspot.com. Melalui blog itu, dia menceritakan pelbagai kisah memori termasuk pengalamannya menyaksikan sendiri Perang Saudara Sepanyol.

Seorang cucunya, Daniel telah memasukkan ayat di bawah ke dalam blognya:

"Cucu saya memberikan saya blog ini ketika saya berumur 95 tahun pada 23 Disember 2006 menyebabkan kehidupan saya berubah."

Sejak itu, blognya mempunyai pelawat sebanyak 1,570,784 pengunjung dari lima benua.

The world's oldest blogger – a 97-year-old Spanish grandmother introduced to the internet by her grandchildren two years ago – has died.

Maria Amelia Lopez’s posts touched on many aspects of her long life, from political memories of the Franco era to intimate musings on her increasingly fragile state of health.

Mrs Lopez blogged from the seaside town of Muxia, where she was born in 1911, or from the farmhouse in Galicia belonging to her grandson, Daniel.

She wrote: "On December 23rd 2006, my grandson gave me a present, this blog when I was 95 years old ... and my life changed ... now, I can communicate and interact with the world."

Her blog, at amis95.blogspot.com, became a global hit, notching up more than 1.5 million visits. As her fame spread, Mrs Lopez became an unlikely campaigner for digital rights for older people, and even took tea with the Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the Spanish Prime Minister.

She wrote frequently of the benefits of the online community she had created.

In one of her last posts, in February this year, she wrote: "When I'm on the internet, I forget about my illness. The distraction is good for you – being able to communicate with people. It wakes up the brain, and gives you great strength."

Mrs Lopez became the world's oldest blogger on the death of 108-year-old Australian Oliver Riley in June 2008. The new holder of this unoffical title is unknown, although the actor Kirk Douglas, 92, who blogs regularly on his MySpace page, could be in the running.

Do Not Simply Put Your Pictures On Internet

Hi, i have a little busy on work today. I can just forwarded article to my blog readers. But the more important is what this article tells you about. Please take a look, as long as you know your risk when you send any pictures through the internet, especially facebook fans.. :)

No such thing as "deleted" on the Internet

It's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself.

Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University (so you know this is legit, people!) have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.

Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.

In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time." Though obviously that time can vary considerably.

Of course, once a photo escapes from the walled garden of a social network like Facebook, the chances of deleting it permanently fall even further. Google's caching system is remarkably efficient at archiving copies of web content, long after it's removed from the web. Anyone who's ever used Google Image Search can likely tell you a story about clicking on a thumbnail image, only to find that the image has been deleted from the website in question -- yet the thumbnail remains on Google for months. And then there are services like the Wayback Machine, which copy entire websites for posterity, archiving data and pictures forever.

The lesson: Those drunken party photos you don't want people to see? Simply don't upload them to the web, ever, because trying to delete them after you sober up is a tough proposition.
