Statcounter

To help webmasters understand their visitors, make good decisions and become more successful on line. We have five core principles at StatCounter that we always try to adhere to.

The service must always be rock solid, reliable, and ultra fast no matter what the load.

To provide the maximum amount of features to the free service that is sustainable.

To provide excellent value for money for all paid services.

Our members are our lifeblood. We must foster a loyal community spirit and listen and respond to their needs.

Provide the best customer support possible.

What you sell / services you offer (brief description of your company):

We offer the best free, most reliable and popular website analysis and counter service in the world. From the free service we have developed our more advanced visitor tracking software. The advanced tracking software is similar to the free software but allows for a huge amount of data to be stored and analyzed at a fraction of the cost charged by rival paid services.

Have you always wanted to run your own business? What were some of your previous jobs / companies?

Yes. I have always wanted to run my own business since when I was young. I started at the age of 12 typing up documents, essays and resumes (CVs) for doctors, college student and many professionals. From there I went onto run my own website development business before finally concentrating all my effort on StatCounter.com.

Have you got any qualifications? Please tell us about yourself academically?

I graduated from Dublin City University with an Honors Degree in Computer Applications in 2004, and the same year won the MSN & IIA New Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

How / when did the idea of your website / company come about?

In developing websites for businesses, I found an overly expensive and poor choice of website stats packages available. And what was on offer for free was woeful. I was looking for a service that was rock solid, loaded instantly and allowed you to manage the stats, email reports and client access for all your websites from a single account. Instead of having to remember an array of usernames and password and install time consuming software on each server. There was nothing even remotely resembling this so I started StatCounter.com back in 1999!
