How to Track Widgets With StatCounter
StatCounter is a free online traffic tracking counter that provides statistics and data about the visitor who come to your website. StatCounter tracks data such as how many people view specific pages on your site and what links visitors click to leave your website. You can use this to determine which widget links users are clicking from your blog or site. If you place widgets on individual pages, you can also view which pages are most popular and the path that users take when they navigate through your site.
