Thus, I was surprised to see that <strong>yesterday statistics showed only 30% traffic<\/strong> came our way, which made me think anxiously about another hosting downtime.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3212\" title=\"sitemeter-crash\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sitemeter-crash.gif\" alt=\"Sitemeter Statistics Lost\" width=\"297\" height=\"227\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But Google Analytics showed the usual statistics and Google Adsense stats revealed the ad impressions and earnings were stable. <strong>Is it possible Sitemeter had lost our statistics?<\/strong> Yes, they actually did. As I looked around for a Sitemeter status update, they have informed that some accounts were affected by a power outage.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our hosting providers data center had some electrical issues which required them to relocate the servers to another data center. The servers have been moved and are fully operational. Unfortunately <strong>we are unable to provide statistics during this time period due to the extended power outage<\/strong>. We apologize for the inconvenience that this outage has caused and the inability to access your stats pages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you are on the s24, s45 or s48 account (hover over your sitemeter logo to get an idea), check your statistics. When I hear of downtimes of such hugely popular sites, I am always reminded about the need for <a href=\"http:\/\/searchdatacenter.techtarget.com\/sDefinition\/0,,sid80_gci1308043,00.html\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Tier data centers<\/a> for web hosting.<\/p>\n<p>It is a good idea to run <strong>multiple statistics tracking software<\/strong> on your site, not only for the large variety in which data can be presented, but also so that you can detect any outage of your statistics software too. At a time, I often run too many stat tools like Sitemeter, Google Analytics, CrazyEgg (sometimes to get an idea of whats clicking), MyBlogLog (to check outlinks) and Woopra (yes! got an invite).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We use Sitemeter to track site traffic statistics, and it does a great job of site wide traffic analysis easily&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
