    Google Analytics works for all sites. Just add your blog, then copy-paste the generated code in your blog.

    Yep, it does.

    You can also install web statistics and analytics PHP script like PHPMyVisites. Lemme know if you want a video tutorial on how to set it up.

    I also prefer extremetracking.com in most cases cause google anylitics is rather complicated and the other one is easy and fast.
    Only draw back to public counters is people can see where your traffic comes from but with google anylitics they cant see your info.

    you don't "need" a plugin for wordpress. If you have access to the php files you can do something like this...
    
    <?php
    $myuri =  $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    if(stripos($myuri,"&preview=")>0){
      //you are in preview mode dont show any ads
      //and - or don't track using google analytics
    }else{
      //show ads
      //run the code google gives you
      //in the place where analytics code wants a string
      //you can use $myuri or use the wordpress title   the_title();
    }
    ?>
    
    Code (markup):
    That should do the trick. The only reason I am saying this is because there are some plugins out there that wont detect if you are in preview mode, and go and register your visit. Plus some of your ads might not be in a plugin and will screw with your impression count.

    Yes, it works on blogs and monitors your visits and you can put statcounter too..

    There is no harm when you put this two webstats together...:p
