    Thanks Sheaf!

    As far as I can tell it's working exactly as the legacy version (the full range of stats are available) and is even working on my new smug site in preview mode (I'm not yet unveiled).

    How can that work if you haven't unveiled yet?

    Just my theory...I think it's that Statcounter doesn't know/care/differentiate whether it's 'unveiled' or not, it just tracks the activity on any site/page it's installed on and logs it. However, it does in fact work so I'm OK with it!
    The big bonus is it looks like we won't be throwing away all our accumulated hits from the past... deal.gif

    I will count your own hits on your New SmugMug...but since you are the only ones to visit, it doesn't provide much insight :D

    I added the statcounter code yesterday but it still has not registered with statcounter. Does it take awhile to go through?

    Mine worked within minutes...noting however, that I was already a StatCounter customer on my legacy account and all I did was cut/paste the applicable codes into the new but unveiled SmugMug.

    That's pretty much what I did except I did have the html version on my site before smugmug added the code to the stats page.

    I'm guessing here, but if there's anyway you can delete the html version then start over with the new smug version??

    If it always worked fine on your legacy acct. it should be straightforward to work on the new site...

    I can't/won't unveil until a PayPal/Self-fulfill option is available so I can't really help beyond this, as I had said it is working fine on both of my sites currently...

    Thanks, But I removed the html code before I added the statcounter project ID and the security code to the new smugmug. Statcounter was working fine for several years on my legacy site! ne_nau.gif

    I have entered (copy/pasted) the right Project ID and Securtity ID in the account settings, but my statcounter is no longer detecting any visitors after transitioning to the new smugmug. It has been a week.

    Any suggestions as to what to check?

    Thanks

    Statcounter is registering certain visits, but not all. I have not seen a single hit created by myself, and that was not a problem with the old Smugmug. Also, hardly any referring URLs are registered.

    Any chance you can provide me with detailed specifics, and maybe even a log in to your SC account? Feel free to PM me with the info.

    Thanks!

    Regarding the referring links, this thread may be related http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=240113

    In the mean time, there are still no referring URLs listed coming from search engines. Instead of listing Google Search or Google Image Search referring URLs, the referring URL still point to the smugmug gallery (which is the entry page, not the referring URL). In other words, the referring URL and the entry page are always the same (which was not the case on the legacy site).

    You know, sometimes I get the "no referring link" green link that leads into my site. I also get Google search refering links, and smugmug image search links, as well as other referring links. Perhaps the "no referring link" comes from a browser that has the "Send a ‘Do Not Track’ request with your browsing traffic" option enabled?

    Just stabbing at the dark...

    Just stabbing at the dark...

    If there is a green 'no referring link' mentioned under the no referring URL, then it denotes that someone visited the entry page by clicking on the URL in an e-mail message for example.

    What's going on here though is that the page of the smugmug gallery that is visited (i.e. the entry page) is also and always the (black) entry page (when coming from a search engine).

    When visitors come from external blogs, websites, forums (like Dgrin) etc., then the green referring link is the URL of that external blog, website, forum, etc. and the entry or visit page is the smgmug gallery. That's the way it should go and is correct.

    When people enter the site via Google search or Google Image Search or Yahoo or Bing, I noticed that there is no real referring link mentioned. The green referring link is always the visited smugmug page -- which is the same as the black (entry or visit) page. In the past (under the legacy site and the former code) the green referring link always pointed to the full Google referring URL (so that I could see if the visitor came via Google Search or Google Image search on the entry page). This now is missing since I unveiled almost a month ago.

    Indeed, there is no Gooogle URL and instead of the Google URL, there is a green smugmug link (which in my case is lucdejaeger.smugmug.com/xxxxxxxxxx). The green smugmug link is the same as the black entry or visit page.

    This is an example (and it's just full of this).

    Thanks (dank u) for picking up on my problem. It seems to be a little bit different in my case.

    If the visit is actually registered, it looks like this most of the time (No referring link):
