Counter or page hits

[Alex Martinez]

Hello,
I am using FrontPage version 2003 and my ISP is Earthlink I am wondering is there a way I can find out how many hits on my home page? I like the idea of a counter, but I don't want my viewers to actual see the counter. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

All but the lowest-end service providers provide some sort of
activity-reporting software such as WebTrends. Ask your isp. You can look in
the web logs but it is a real pain to sort out the details.

BTW it is considered a no-no to post to newsgroups in rich text or html
format because it does not display properly in all newsreaders. I am sure
you can switch to plain text.

I just set one up on my web:

- create new web page (I called mine hit_counter.htm)
- insert the web component "hit counter" & choose the
format you want

This gives you a page with only the hit counter on it -
the counter doesn't appear anywhere else in your site.

To see the number of hits, go to your web site by entering
http://yourwebname/hit_counter.htm and you will be taken
to the hit_counter page which will show you the actual
number of hits.

It's unlikely that anyone else will bother to even try to
figure out if you have a counter, or where it is, and you
don't have a link to it, so no one can get there by
accident.

In that instance the counter would only increment when the hit_counter page is opened.
Opening your home page will not increment the count on hit_count.htm unless you have entered the
following in html view somewhere on the home page.

<img src="_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/?Page=hit_counter.htm|Custom=images/custom.gif" alt="Hit Counter">

And then hidden this hit counter on the home page by making a 1 pixel by 1 pixel gif to use as the
custom image so the words "Hit Counter" don't show
