Free Banner Rotation Perl Scripts
Free Banner Rotation Perl Scripts
Show And Sell
The Show And Sell script can display banners either via Server Side Includes (SSI), or, optionally, it can be called to deliver web pages complete with the banner already inserted (note that this is different from delivering banners via an IMG tag). You can also insert slogans under or above your banner (something that not all scripts provide). There is support for it being called from different sites.
CGI-Factory Banner Rotator MySQL
Banner Rotator uses a MySQL back-end, tracks the number of clicks and impressions a banner receives, and allows advertisers to check the statistics of their banner. It requires SSI in addition to MySQL. It has a web admin interface that allows you to maintain your banners through a browser.
Free FormMail, Feedback Form, Form Mail Script Hosting
Free FormMail, Feedback Form, Form Mail Script Hosting
Response-O-Matic
Like most other free form to mail processing services, you create a form that calls their form script. When your visitor clicks on the Submit button on your form, the script will send the contents of the form to you and a C.C. address of your choice (if you like). You will also receive information about the type of browser the sender used.
Formmail.to
This service offers a free form for your website in return for banner advertising at the bottom of the form page. Your form will be located on their web server, and you will have to link to http://formmail.to/yourform. It is thus probably less customizable than free web form services that allow you to place the form on your own site. On the other hand, they allow you to redirect your visitors to a "Thank You" page of your choice (on your site). This service does not place your email address in the form hidden fields.
Freedback
Freedback allows you to create a feedback form using their online tools and place the form on your website. Your visitors will see numerous advertisements on a "Thank You" page, after they submit their comments. The last time I checked, the "Thank You" page was filled with so many ads that I almost missed the "thank you" statement on that page, and the email sent to you by your visitor will also contain ads inserted by Freedback.
Free Web Statistics (Webstats Hosting Services)
Google Analytics
Google Analytics provides you with massive amounts of statistics about your website, such as the performance of your keywords on every search engine, analysis of your visitors by country, page views, etc, the ability to view trends (for example, are the number of visitors referred to by a particular site rising or falling, etc), provides funnel visualisation (which tells you the bottlenecks in your, say, conversion and checkout processes), and so on. There are over 80 predefined reports available.
StatCounter Free Invisible Web Tracker and Stats
StatCounter gives your site an invisible counter with no advertisements. You can obtain statistics of the number of page loads, unique, first-time, and returning visitors, a list of popular pages on your site, get the list of referring keywords and links, browsers used, screen resolutions, etc.
FreeStats Detailed Web Site Stats
FreeStats provide your site with statistics on page views, unique visitors, popular pages and top referrers. You also have access to the raw logs. You need to put an advertising banner on your site.
AddFreeStats Website Statistics
In exchange for a small 88x31 button which is displayed on all pages on your site that you want tracked, AddFreeStats provides reports on your visitors (the IP address and operating system of your last 40 visitors, the number of visits, page views, etc), referrers (last 40 referral URLs), most requested page, top search engines that referred visitors to you, the most popular entry and exit pages of your site, top keywords, returning visitors, etc.
GoldStats Web Statistics
GoldStats tracks your visitor traffic (hits, unique visitors, countries), referral data (domains and URLs referring visitors to your site, search engines and keywords), web browsers, screen size and colour depth, plug-ins available, Java and JavaScript capabilities, operating systems, etc. You also get the raw logs for each hit to your website. In exchange you have to place a 468x60 banner on your site. You may track multiple pages. One limitation of this service is that you may track only up to 33,000 page views per month.
Site Tracker Web Statistics
Site Tracker gives you detailed reports on the past 7 days of your website. Reports include traffic reports (page views, unique visitors, popular pages, raw logs) and referral data (top referrals only - it does not give you information on the top keywords used on search engines that some of the other free web statistics software provide). You are required to put an advertising banner on your website (it's a long vertical banner). Site Tracker will allow you to track multiple pages on your website. The disadvantage of this service is the paucity of reports you get, compared to the other free services.
Extreme Tracking
Extreme Tracking provides your website with free web statistics reports. You have to place some code which they will supply on your page (which in turn will display a button linking to Extreme Tracking). Each time that button is loaded, their webstats software will log the information supplied by the visitors to that web page. Among the reports they supply are Referral data (including which keywords were used on which search engines), the number of unique visitors you have to your site (per day, per week, per month, per hour), the browsers, operating system, screen resolutions and screen colours used by your visitors, your visitors' geographical location, etc. They only allow you to put the button onto one page of your site, which in my opinion, makes this service not very useful unless your site has only one page. The other disadvantage is that your statistics are publicly available (anyone can access them).
