Short answer to : making your site stats public will not help search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN/Bing) index or rank your pages. is on point — crawlers use links, sitemaps, on‑page content and other crawlable signals, not visitor counters or private analytics dashboards.

If the goal is better indexing and visibility, focus on technical SEO and discovery instead of public counters. Practical steps: generate and submit an XML sitemap and verify the site in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools; ensure robots.txt and navigation do not block important pages; add canonical tags and relevant structured data; fix crawl errors; improve page speed and mobile usability; and build a few quality inbound links. Use Search Console and server logs to monitor actual crawler activity.

If transparency for visitors is the objective, publish only aggregate, anonymized metrics (total visits, top pages, country summaries) and never raw IPs or live visitor paths. Keyword data is often incomplete (many queries show as "not provided"), and publishing detailed referral or keyword logs invites spam and privacy issues. Both Google Analytics (as suggested) and StatCounter (as prefers) are fine for tracking, but neither will change rankings. Before making any stats public, filter referrer spam, remove personal data, and add a clear privacy/cookie notice.
