SiteMeter Vista Gadget

I was getting a lot of emails regarding the Sitemeter Windows Vista Gadget, demonstrated in the book (Chapter 9). I wanted to clarify that there are two versions of the Gadget.
  1. SiterMeter Live Version for public use with multiple websites. This is also announced at SiteMeter website. The latest gadget can be downloaded here
  2. Fixed version available in the book. Can be found at the download section of www.innovatewithgadgets.com

If you have a PUBLIC account at Sitemeter.com you can download and use the Live version of the Gadget as shown below



Here are the Steps to add a new website in the Gadget

  1. Get the Sitemeter Code



  2. Open Settings Page.

  3. Add a Title for your website for example For http://www.widgets-gadgets.com you can have Web Widgets. This is a friendly title to distinguish between multiple websites.

  4. Add the 6 digit code , This is NOT the password for the SiteMeter For example for www.widgets-gadgets.com It is s41widgets



  5. Once added, go back to the gadget and when you put your mouse on Title of the Gadget, you will be able to see the Chevrons (forward/backward arrows) Click on the arrow to go to statistics for previous/next website.





Done. let me know if you have any questions

Good Job Rajesh, thanks to have better cleared the ways and the passages needed.
 
Hi Rajesh, I have downloaded the link from sitmeter news letter.

It appears the live version is for public pages only. yet on newsleeter states add your password.

It wouls be great if you clould add this service for private accounts

We have arranged with Rajesh to provide anyone wanting to have a SiteMeter Vista gadget on their desktop with a full working version available through download. Just download the gadget, enter your SiteMeter codename and password and track your sites stats, live on your computer desktop. You will of course need to be using Windows Vista.

Tahnks Don
 
Agreed . . . with no place to enter a password, I just get an error message. The private option would be great!
