You can only see stats for providers that give these openly, there's no hacking or whatsoever involved. It's very useful sometimes to know what package people are using though :)

Joost,
Thanks for quick response, is there any way to view the data for the non-free stats providers like
Omniture, Coremetrics etc?

And free Google Analytics?
How do you view the stats for other providers?
or can you not view stats at all?

Correction, it can be found :) I added it, and reworked the entire script a bit to make it easier to add new engines. It's also gotten it's own page: Greasemonkey statistics detector.

No it's not... It's based on log files, and doesn't use javascript, so that makes it kinda hard...

Thanks for the update Joost. Another good one that I see often is AWStats. Its pretty good and I suspect that its easy to detect as well.

I've updated the script again, it now captures Omniture and Sitestat as well.

Joe: fixed it. If you install the new version, you will be able to click on the Mint warning.

Ha, nice script! Sort of "Distant Early Warning" ;-)

Very cool - I look forward to that. So do you have any tips on manually navigating to this keyword information? For instance, how would I get to the Google Analytics keyword information on a site once I know it's running it?
Thanks!

Hey Joe, i'm planning on adding a way for mint to, so you can click on the small popup text, and it will move you to the mint directory. If that is in demo mode, you would then see the statistics for that site, probably including keyword info. This is already how it works for the free statistics programs it recognizes.
