The Visitor Counter Plugin (VCP) allows you to get valuable advertising insight into your users, to see how many visitors are on your site. It’s designed to replace any current visitor counter that you are using on your website to help give you some valuable data. It gives you three different functions: current visitor count, statistics on visitors, and a robust back end.

A husband and wife team started VCP after a light bulb moment came to them when they wanted to know about readers visiting a blog about an alternate reality game. When the wife uploaded a big reveal she received no feedback, but as she went to bed she noticed a huge explosion overnight. The situation seemed obvious to her husband, and he suggested figuring out when readers were coming in and she sat down to create this plugin. Something as simple as posting content at the right time can make a huge difference in the profitability of your website. By posting content at the right time, she saw an increase in comments and buzz and saw more engaged readers just as a result of analyzing the right times to post.

With so many plugins to choose from, you may think that your site doesn’t need any additional plugins or that your website wouldn’t benefit from any of this data. However, whether or not you are a news site, sell a product, run a blog, or have an affiliate program, you can benefit from the data that this plugin gives you. Knowing more about the people that are visiting your website can be a huge game changer in types of products you are offering, services, or content that you are producing. Use the plugin to help create the most buzz about announcements, new products, or other updates on your website.

VCP works by reading the visitor’s IP and will take a look at the link that lead them to the website. Many sites already do this to help prevent DDoS attacks and viruses, so it’s not intrusive for you. Your visitors won’t notice a difference in the site speed and you don’t even need to show visitors your visitor count on the website if you don’t have to. In fact, it can be beneficial to disable the visitor counter if you don’t have a lot of visitors on your website. This way, you can wait until you have more and then you can show how busy your site is. You can even customize what people see if you have the visitor counter turned on. Whether it’s color, size, font, or just the info in the counter, you want people to see it’s easy to change it all. If you disable the visitor counter you will still have all the statistics in the backend that you can use in your future website development. VCP makes it easy to get real time updates so you can see when someone clicks on your site, whether it’s from Google, an email, or a different website. To help give you accurate data, it will filter out people that could be spamming the site.
