Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Shawns Tutorials.

Today I want to address how to install and use a simple program called Histats.

Histats is a combination website counter and analytics tool that you can easily access with one click and see all kinds of information on your website traffic.

Pretty cool yeah?

I do not want anyone to think this is a replacement for either Webmaster Tools or Google Analytics as I use both of these programs and would be lost without them.

This program is to be used as an extra easy way to get quick access to your website numbers in real time.

Let's get started!

I would not use HiStats for your stats, rather I would use Google Analytics. Here is the training walking you through how to set this up on your website:

I already have Google Analytics implemented. Except I have to redo Webmasters Tools.

I use this for real-time one click stats on my sites. It works great for me and I use it daily for quick reference. I also use Google Analytics for more in-depth Reasons.
I like being able to click on the icon in my footer and it takes me directly to my stats.
I do not use this in place of Google Analytics.

I agree Kyle that GA is the tool to use for most things as I state in the training, This is just an additional tool I use daily for instant live stats that are only one click away.

Now between Kyle, you and me is "void" which who has to fill up? Me
Your tutorial is good and is working, Kyle are using references too much. My questions many times were ref by Kyle to material available to me on comp. Other words if you don't know how to do it, read more.
You just take direct response to WA Community members, and that is what I'm looking for. Thank you Shawn.

One question Shawn, if you don't mind? What happens when a visitor clicks on the box?

They will get the Histats screen but it will have a private information message
