What GoStats is
GoStats is a web-based service that analyzes website data and reports on traffic and visitor behavior. Reports include page views, visitor origins, returning visits, and popular content, while a visitor overview covers the last 1,000 guests. Users can hide the counter or display traffic figures, view visitor activity on a world map, and choose minimum, maximum, or custom-period statistics. Setup for most sites involves copying a small analytics-code section into the HTML. GoStats offers a free plan and a 14-day trial. The Professional Web Counter plan lists higher traffic capacity and a hidden counter image, but no price is provided. The free service is funded by banner advertisements, and its terms require the counter or tracker to remain visible on every tracked page. GoStats says it does not sell, share, or rent information except as disclosed, and may share aggregated demographic information. Support uses a message board or question form.
