StatCounter

Once you have created a space for people to visit you online, you will be wanting a good free stat counter so you can see how many people have been there.

At www.statcounter.com you can download a free and invisible stat counter which embeds into your webspace and provides you with detailed information about how people are using your site.

Click the live demo link underneath the registration button to get an idea of the kinds of stats you can collect.

When you are ready to sign up then you need to register, and the following page asks you to create a new project.

Follow the steps through, adding details of your web address where prompted. The final step is to configure and install your code.

Easy menus allow you to choose how the counter will look on your site - even down to choosing the colours of the button.

After making all the technical selections you are presented with a few lines of html code to place in your website.

From this moment on, StatCounter will be collecting data about your traffic, and displaying the results in your My Projects section of their website.
