When I started this blog, I used sitemeter and BlogPatrol. Out of this 2 sites that offers free web statistic, I prefer BlogPatrol because of the “Keywords and Search Engines” activity statistic. However, few months back, I logged in to BlogPatrol and found that the code to track visitors has been changed. So I immediately copied the new code to my WordPress. I started to notice that my daily visitor activity remains at “0″ everyday while sitemeter still display hits. I bet something was wrong with the BlogPatrol’s new code. I also noticed that LiewCF and Kahsoon no longer use BlogPatrol as well because I could no longer see the BlogPatrol’s icon.
I emailed BlogPatrol about this problem. They knew about this problem and worked on the fix. After 3 times of testing the codes, BlogPatrol is now working again.
