I've used them for about three years now. And like emil2k said, $3,000+ month or i heard by the day at $150 for a text link. I don't think google is passing the PR along either. They state they have 650,000 members with 600 plus joining every day. With 4 million unique visitors and 30 million impressions a month!
this website is kind of popular in Thai websites. of course to have their stats they give the code with back link to them.
if you look on google who links to them, they include sites that only link to statcounter with links inside <noscript> so i guess google does count links that they know are invisible?
Go to seochat.com to check by keywords/phrases to see which websites have PR10 ranking. Websites giving counter services, link exchanges, web awards, etc. normally have high PR since thousands of websites would be linking to them.
hehe, nice one.. kudos! not sure about that site.. seems they inflate the value of links just to get you onboard, AMillionQuid was valued @ $30+/month... which I don't really believe. James.
LOL Actually I've been using statscounter since day one. It's not entirely an "unknown" website. Although there are WAY too many web counter out there. Interestingly, statscounter also use Google Adsense in their site. I wonder how much they are making
Hey another PR 10 website . Take a look blogger(dot)com . What you think. How much could cost a link on their website ?
They get highly targeted ads; I've clicked them more than a few times because they are interesting. I bet they get targeted with a LOT of CPM campaigns directed solely at statcounter.com.
Statcounter is good and i use them for some of my sites, however I always have a feeling that if they improve their product a bit more, they would be even better off.
Good for when you want to sell a site (or sell ads on it)..independent verification of the stats / referrers that you are claiming.
