SiteAdmin stats not updated since Feb 09. [Solved]

Post by Faub »

My comic hasn't updated in over a year until very recently, but my stats haven't updated since Feb 24, 2009. I couldn't find information on when the stats updated (if it was based on comic updates) so I don't know if this is correct behavior or something that's broken in siteadmin. I do have my own domain (faubcomic.com) and there have been some issues with that lately. I'm at work so I've only been able to skim the forum posts.

Any ideas or explanations?

Thanks.

The Stats function on CG was deliberately shut down as the resources needed to generate the stats were greater than were available. (Source)

People who are interested in keeping an eye on their stats are advised to get a third party stat tracking option with the recommended one being Google Analytics. However, the way GA behaves means that it is possible to get unreliable data from using it on a webcomic (for technical reasons which can be explained if you need to know).

It depends on what information you want to cover. A basic hit counter will work, something like StatTracker can give you a bit more information.
