NedStat gone from my website

I have finally removed bothersome Nedstat from all the pages of my website. This statistics tool has been responsible for opening up nasty popups sometimes when my webpage is loaded. Its colored flashing popups look very cheap. Its more shocking because Nedstat never mentions about opening up advertisement popups ever on its website.

I have switched to Google Analytics completely. It is a silent and invisible analytics tool. It is silent as it does not open popups. It is invisible as it does not require a picture to appear on the webpage. Neat, isnt it.

Google Analytics gives a very complete and informative analysis of the website hits. Moreover, while any person who loads my webpage can see the statistics of my page using Nedstat, only I can access Google Analytics analysis. However, sometimes it is hard to find a simple hits analysis in Google Analytics due to the large number of reports. Google should make simple analysis readily available on the Analytics page like Nedstat. Hopefully, Google Analytics will remain free and won't add advertisements to the webpage.
