Have Blog, Need Stats Counter?

Now that my photo blog has been up for awhile and it is clear to me that I am going to keep filling this puppy up with great content, I've been wondering how many people are reading it? Which sections are read the most? Where are these folks coming from? So I spent a little time poking around Blogger (the company that provides this blog) and eventually ran into other bloggers who solved this problem using Statcounter. I like it! Simply sign up for the program and cut and paste the embedded code they provide into an html box (they tell you how if you need help). What, exactly, do the stats track? Take a look at the graphic below for a quick rundown.

How much does the service cost? Here's what they say:

"We are not out to make a quick buck. The reason StatCounter exists is to 'help webmasters make decisions, and be more successful online by understanding their visitors'. We offer a truly exceptional free service, because we want to help you grow. And as you grow, and as your needs grow, we hope you'll upgrade. We don't impose an upgrade on you. You can use it for free for as long as you like. The only catch is if you start to get over 9,000 pageloads each day you are outside what we can sustain as a free business model and we will then ask you to either remove the code or upgrade. It's as simple as that!"
