If you see a login box for sitemeter, just click cancel.
Sitemeter keeps the count of GMD’s pageviews. In addition, some of our advertisers may use sitemeter to get a count of how many people are seeing their ads.
Unfortunately, sometimes sitemeter glitches, and shows the login box to all site viewers, not just the person in charge of that particular feature. We’re working to track down the cause. If it’s something we can fix, we’ll do so ASAP. If it’s in sitemeter’s hands, we may turn off the service until it’s resolved.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Those of us who are less tech-knowlegable get antsy when we see unfamiliar dialog boxes.
