i usually use a graphic counter. once tried an experiment using a hidden counter to see if the results would be any different. loosecannon did the same. neither of us noticed any difference at all.

I run graphic counters, but have given up on the Andale site. Too complicated. On Sunday I had a bid at 0.50c with 34 visits and $66.01 with 201 visits. If I get 34 visitors and all they will pay is 0.50c then I am happy. Guess the number of visits encourages bids. I will not be beaten as the winner at $66.01 said!

My largest hit count was 3,228 - but it didn't meet reserve. Before that it was over 1,000 hit count and sold well over what I expected. I normally get less than 20 hits on an auction and have a pretty good sell thru rate.
Use the counters - if nothing else they are fun to watch!

I use Ruby Lane's hidden counters--absolutely great service. I like it so well I will soon send in the $$ for a premium membership.
I have the Ruby Lane counter page as a window in my browser and check it a few times a day. It puts all my auctions on one page, and has all the info I need including the high bidder and their feedback#. I never use MyEbay anymore.
I usually get a good # of hits on my auctions, and so when the counter shows hits are low on an item I figure I didn't do something right with keywords or categories...after a few days if hits are still low I will go in and revise the item to see if it helps.

Thank you for all your feedback!
Ok, I tried using the hidden counter option, now how do I get my stats? I tried to access them and it prompted me to sign up as a Andale user?
