Openstat

Openstat is a web analytics and internet statistics platform operated by the Dutch company OpenStat B.V. It was launched in April 2010 as a successor to SpyLog, building on more than a decade of experience in web analytics development. The service was designed to provide comprehensive, independent web analytics solutions, and it positioned itself as a neutral measurement provider not tied to advertising networks, ad platforms, agencies, media holdings, advertisers, or other participants in the online advertising market. Beyond conventional internet statistics such as conversion calculation, bounce rates, page depth, and exit percentages, Openstat studied broader development trends of the Runet (the Russian-language internet) and its individual components, and worked on modern methods for categorizing the content of websites and groups of websites. Its statistics were cited by major Russian media, including the RIA Novosti news agency. In October 2011, the Coordination Center for the National Domain of the Internet and the Technical Center of Internet used Openstat statistics to open an analytical center for the Russian domain space called "Domains of Russia" (Домены России). Openstat competed in the Russian web analytics market with services such as Yandex.Metrica, Omniture, Google Analytics, Rambler's Top100, LiveInternet.ru, HotLog, and Rating@Mail.ru. The company was founded by Leonid Filatov. On September 5, 2018, the statistics counters on partner sites stopped working, and the domain later became unavailable. According to information published on the official sites, counters were halted on September 5, 2018, and requests to the domains openstat.com, openstat.net, openstat.ru, and spylog.com were shielded with a 204 code to avoid errors on partner sites. On March 15, 2019, correct display of the rating image was restored, initially using the same counter image for all partners. In summer 2019, restoration of the analytics platform and of work with statistics partners was expected. The platform is now effectively defunct.

Openstat traces its origins to SpyLog, a web analytics system that had been developed and operated for more than ten years. In April 2010, the Openstat system was launched as a successor built on that accumulated experience, intended to deliver comprehensive and independent individual solutions in web analytics. The platform was operated by the Dutch company OpenStat B.V. Openstat offered conventional internet statistics such as conversion calculation, bounce rates, page depth, and exit percentages, while also researching global development trends of the Runet and its individual components. It worked on modern methods for categorizing the content of websites and groups of websites. The company emphasized that its service was not connected with advertising networks, platforms, agencies, media holdings, advertisers, or other participants in the online advertising market. Its statistical materials were regularly used by the RIA Novosti news agency. In October 2011, the Coordination Center for the National Domain of the Internet and the Technical Center of Internet opened an analytical center for the Russian domain space called "Domains of Russia" (Домены России) based on Openstat statistics. On September 6, 2011, a joint press conference of REG.RU and Masterhost presented "Domains of Russia." Competitors in the Russian web analytics field included Yandex.Metrica, Omniture, Google Analytics, Rambler's Top100, LiveInternet.ru, HotLog, and Rating@Mail.ru. The company was founded by Leonid Filatov. On September 5, 2018, the statistics counters on partner sites stopped working, and the domain later became unavailable. According to information from the official sites, counters were halted on September 5, 2018, and requests to the domains openstat.com, openstat.net, openstat.ru, and spylog.com were shielded with a 204 code to avoid errors on partner sites. Information was absent until March 15, 2019. On March 15, 2019, correct display of the rating image was restored, initially using the same counter image for all partners. In summer 2019, restoration of the analytics platform and of work with statistics partners was expected. The platform is now effectively defunct.
