Mar 20, 2009: Free Accounts are Back!
The WunderCounter actually started out as a free counter service. Since then,
it has grown into a service which does far more than power web counters.
Keeping this in mind and considering that finances may be tight for many
people, it seems like a good time to return to the roots of the WunderCounter.
Free accounts will allow users to
create free visible counters for sites like
Myspace, LiveJournal, Blogger.com, eBay and, of course, commercial and personal
web sites. Log files and other analytics are not included with the free
accounts, but it's enough to get you started and, if you're on a tight budget
or even just insist on a service which requires no payment, this may be the
package for you.
Sign up for a free account now.
Jan 4, 2009: Invisible Free Trial Account now available
Free trials are now available for Invisible accounts. If you're sitting on the fence as to what sort of account would be best for you, feel free to test drive the Invisible account in addition to the Premium account.
Creating a free trial account requires no billing information and there is no obligation to purchase. The trial period is 14 days, which gives you enough time to kick the tires and see what it's all about. As usual, if you have any questions at all about your free trial account call or email using the contact info at the top of this page so that you can get the best advice for your needs.

Oct 28, 2008: IP Tagging
IP tagging, which was formerly only available to Premium accounts, has now
been enabled for all Invisible accounts. Invisible users can now tag IP
numbers by following the
tag link, which appears beside IP addresses in
their log files. You'll also find an
IP Tagging item on your "Options"
menu when you are logged in to your account. This page will allow you to edit
and delete all of your IP tags on one handy page.
Sep 19, 2008: Major Tracking Upgrades
Thousands of lines of code were updated today. The WunderCounter is currently
made up of 30,000+ lines of code and a significant portion of that was
overhauled today. Among the highlights:
On/Off Switch for IP and Domain Blocking (Premium):
You are now able to maintain lists of IPs and domains to block (as before),
but you may now switch blocking for IPs on and off without removing the IPs
from your list. The same is true for domains. This makes for easier testing
of your site and the convenience of being able to take advantage of filters
with less copy/pasting.
Improved Session Control (Premium):
Session Control now gives you the option to use cookies. Previously cookies
were used by default. Some users feel cookies raise privacy issues, so you
may now choose to enable or disable them when tracking user sessions. If
you're not concerned about WunderCounter cookies, you should enable this
option for your sessions. If you want to fly as far under the radar as
possible, you should disable cookies. Cookies will be disabled by
default.
New Payment Options:
You now have the option of making payments every 1, 3, 6 or 12 months,
regardless of your method of payment or account type. This gives you
greater flexibility in choosing a method and period of payment which
suits you best.
New Hardware:
An additional database server has been added to the rack, speeding page
rendering significantly.
Database Optimization:
By optimizing database queries and adding new indices, WunderCounter
report rendering is now even faster.
Mar 10, 2008: Expanded Directory Listings
The WunderCounter
Client Directory has now been
expanded. The directory is no longer restricted to e-commerce listings. Both
Premium
and Invisible account holders may now list their sites and edit the content
in real time. All listings are automatically approved -- there is no longer
any manual approval process.
Mar 6, 2008: New Myspace Trackers Come Online
The new WunderCounter Myspace Tracker code now allows you to put trackers into
the
headline of your personal page. This means that if your Myspace
profile page is set to
private, the tracker will also record page views
by users who are not on your friends list and who are unable to view your full
profile page.
