StatCounter
I use 3 tracking services (1, 2, 3) to check my page views across by little area of webpages. 3 is far to many, I don’t even need one, I could count the hits that I get myself, on one hand. However, 12th April 2005 saw more visitors to this page than ever before previously, and it was a joy to check the Stats (which I initially presumed were fraudulent) and see all of the visitors (thanks to all). The best service at giving me information was by far StatCounter which provides indepth information about every single page view, including referrals, browser types, resolutions, IPs… the list goes on. As for the other 2, well number one is ok with a fairly comprehensive range of data, but number 2 is covered in adverts, and not much else.
So if you need a counter, I would recommend you visit the site above.

The new blog design is the result of some personal error, it is a temporary measure, expect the older version to be restored soon.

[...] Wait a second don’t you really like StatCounter (my post)? Yes I do. And I am not switching. Visitor Ville is glossy but expensive and fairly impractical. Rather than viewing stats on a website you have to be using the program so you’d only be able to get at the stats from one PC. Also there are very tight restrictions on the meagre free accounts. To add to that I don’t like the lack of organisation. The pages on your site are just scattered. It would be much better if directories in the site were reflected in roads and subdirectories were sidestreets. Finally the program is very slow to run on my computer and it is boring looking at an empty city. [...]
