I haven't used any of those stats services because I'm fairy happy with what my host provides but I'd hate to think I was inadvertently putting spyware on readers computers through no fault of my own.

You and I have been a little out of touch but my readers know the troubles I've been having of this kind. Sitemeter was one of the main offenders and IE. I switched to Firefox but that's another story. Many fellow bloggers have reported slow loading and sometimes non-loading Sitemeter. Many sites which I know have Sitemeter take ages to come up and comment on. This might not be down to sitemeter but Blogger itself. What do you feel? Horrified by this, Doctor Vee.

I’m sure that Google receives a ton of seedy requests. I’ve never heard Google make an announcement about it. http://GoStats.com (a web stats counter provider) was approached in the same way and quietly declined to allow spyware. It’s such an obvious decision to make that I’m wary of those who had to tell the world about their spam purity. Popular web businesses get approached by spammy companies a lot.

But, although I've not tried it, why not use one of the WP plugins that does the job for you? Do we suspect Sitemeter may be about to die horribly? I've had load time issues on a few sites recently, normally incomplete loads from 3rd party javascript, not sure if oyurs was one, could have been.
