StatCounter and Adsense won’t play nice on my blog
Todays question:
I’ve been following your work for a while now and like it. This new WP2.7 hasn’t done what I hoped it would do, which is simplify adding things like StatCounter.
I have several blogs running right now, all on WP as supplied by Dreamhost. I am setting up some more on WordPress itself. I am considering using Blogger for some more.
The problems I am having all concern placing Google and other adverts and installing StatCounter code. It seems that I can get one or the other, or a sort of one or the other, but it seems to be almost impossible to get both as easy to use deals in the same platform.
Do you have any thoughts on how to solve this?
First I am not familiar with Stat Counter. Have a feeling it is a problem with the type of scripting they are using. Would recommend looking at Google Analytics plugin and use that service or the WordPress Stats plugin.
Both of those plugins are made to work with WordPress and will keep you from having conflicts with other programs. Adsense uses a java script to display your ads.
Most stats counters do also and that is probably where the conflict comes in. I have successfully used Adsense and Analytics with no problem.
As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

I use Adsense and Analytics as well. Analytics works great for me. I have not tried statcounters because they do not appear to work as well.

I was using statcounter when I was running WP 2.5
Now I changed the theme and updated to 2.7 – statcounter no longer works. I also tried Google Analytics – the same story… no data is showing up
