That’s a great plugin, but I was actually referring to traffic stats…Any suggestions?
I like statpress visitors – it seems to be the best fork of statpress and is actively maintained by the author
I wasn’t aware Jetpack stats shared data with Quantcast, but I discovered it does add a stupid little smiley face into the footer of your site. Only seen when you are not logged into your site.
If you want a good stats program use Google Analytics. No reason to add anything to WP.
There is actually a plugin to remove that “stupid little smiley face”.
Some themes remove it I think and the WordPress dot com stats plugin does not use it.
As soon as I uninstalled Jetpack – with no other changes to anything on the site – the smiley face vanished.
Yes, it is from Jetpack. Many don’t like it. Hence the plugin I guess.
Some kind soul wrote a Plugin to block third-party Quantcast tracking in WP.com stats/Jetpack stats.
Excellent news! Will have to try that out asap.
