Visitor Tracking in Google Knol: Guess who visited me on Friday?

[David Petherick [Digital Biographer]]

I've added a Sitemeter tracker [EDIT: Statcounter.com] to My Knol on Reading Russian, and just noticed I had a 14-minute visit from Mountain View, California. So it looks like at least someone at Google is reading Knols.

Traffic for the Knol has been around 40 visitors a day, and I've also noticed traffic clicking through to the site that I link to at the end of the Knol article - monitored with Get Clicky, and which has been about 10-16% of readers - a quite healthy click-through rate.

The Sitemeter crash issue prevents people using IE 6 or 7 from viewing your web page...

Thanks for the tip - I realised that I used the term 'Sitemeter' generically, and perhaps because I'd heard about this issue.

I actually use Statcounter on this Knol, not Sitemeter, and am not aware of any problems using Internet Explorer. I use Camino, Firefox and Safari.
