PLUGIN DEPRECIATED

Now, we are finally convinced that GOOGLE ANALYTICS stats and tracking systems are uncomparably superior (which also comes as other plugins, i.e. we like Google Analytics [by MonsterInsights]) over useless “POST-VIEWS” plugins, because these drawbacks:
– There are tons of bots, crawlers, search or aggregation engines, that view your websites and pages daily, and “view your posts”. That ends up in fake/boosted “Post views” dramatically.
Beside bots, many people just …:
– people open the pages in the background and close them without reading at all
– open the pages, but close while site is still loading
– open the pages, but close quickly, under 1-2 seconds, without reading your pages..
– and many other reasons.

All these actions still increases the Post-views counter. So, to say decisively, such numbers are not of any real help, instead they just mislead site-owners and their decisions..

… What is solution?

We praise Google Analytics (or alike) tracking systems. This is what they are made for ! This is the field, where they know what to do. Just state-of-the-art. They give you statistics not only of page-views, average duration (seconds), Realtime , but other tons of statisctis, which gives you realistic information about your posts and website, to make correct decisions.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET.

Just spend 2 minute to sign up for Google Analytics, get the code and use “Google Analytics” plugin.

I hate Google please continue plugin development what if google never existed I really dislike this over dependence on google.
I believe we must evolve, we need to change, but what this creator did, stopping and telling users to use Google analytics? why? I hate Google, I just want to have a visit counter on all posts, I don’t care if people close the window or bots are visiting, in don’t want to have tons of information about visiting users, I want a simple counter
exsactly what i needed, also very simple and fast.
