suck4it Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hello, I new here and I was wondering for very long time which is the best way to count unique visitors? Counting ip's is not enough becouse of "f*** proxy" so can u suggest the best way how to count them?

genericnumber1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 You can use cookies (deletable), IPs (spoofable), combine the above with browser checks, etc... There's really no 100% definitive way to tell one person from another without some form of login/authentication.

ratcateme Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 by "spoofable" i think he means that someone can fake there IP personally i think the best way is cookies. sure they can be deleted but the average person person wont delete there cookies and other wise if a hacker wanted to the are a million ways someone could fake a unique client so don't get to caught up on trying to make sure everyone was unique normally i have found cookies do the job Scott.
