Web: Free Web Site Counter

A good and free web statistic counter site (to see how many people visited your site) is www.statcounter.com. You can create ‘invisible’ (or visible) counter code that embedded into your html. Get start by going to the site and sign in for a free account. Then create a project and follow the instruction to create the html codes. (Pretty much select all of the default values but pick the look-and-feel of the counter you want.)

Tips: The free Statcounter will track the last 100 activities, so you may want to exclude your own visits from being counted. Do so by going to log into your statcounter account, then under My Projects -> Blocking Cookie, there is a button to “Creating Blocking Cookie for All Project”. Once it’s activated, your own visits won’t be ‘counted’.
