Visitor Hit Counter Script? to find total number of visitor to the site.

Does anyone know of any script that can be used to count the number of hits to a web page or a site. Is it possible using java script. I have my own doubts about the use of java script for the purpose. Are there any scripts available to be used on the web page to count the number of hits to a site. Thanks.

You might consider using a web site that provides this service. Not only are they useful and easy to set up, but they also give you detailed information on your visitors.

Of course, if (and when) you get hosted here at Xisto, you will have enough information in the cPanel. But until then, I would advise you to use http://statcounter.com/.

thx bro .. i think i will be a pro With this Forums really

Getting to know the number of visitors on your site will really help you to understand more about what your visitors need and how you can provide those.The more advanced script you use more things you can get to know about your site visitors/users

Coming back to your question I will surely reccomend you Google Analytics, it is one of the best piece of script around to check your website OR page stats.It is completely free.

Visit https://www.google.com/analytics/ for acquiring more information about this service.I think you need a Google Account for using this, but hey that is easily available.

Good Luck

And, of course, if you are hosted at Xisto, don't forget the Xisto counter. You reach it from your cpanel control, in the "cgi scripts" section" , it annouces what it does :

 

Counter

You can create a counter to count how many visitors have been to your page.

 

 

If you prefer an independant counter site, have a look at http://statcounter.com/ it's free and it's rather complete.

Cool. thanks for the info.

I was about to add a counter to my page from another website but since you pointed this out,

 

I'll use that.

 

Thanks.

Yeah, Stat Counter is great for being free. I use it. It's much better than "add free stats" and several others where they actually put ads on your counter. Stat Counter also offers FREE invisible counters as well. It's a great service, highly recommended![N]F

Yes, I also use the invisible counters, because they show you where people go when they visit your site.

It's available as both free and payed service (with more features) from  http://gostats.com/

Well go to youe cpanel and you will got a good open sour guest viewer.I think webanalizer is good one.you can go to any 3rd party software that you want.

I have never used a hit counter because I have never felt the need of doing so. I am a big fan of Google Analytics and when you use this great service, you won't need to use anything else. It not only shows the number of hits your pages receive, but also a lot of other valuable analysis. The greatest part of this service is that it is completely free.

Google analytics is getting more devilish and is fetching data from publishers website and based on that filtering the google search. For this reason i'm switching from google analytics to reinvigorate. This analytics is similar to google analytics and their freebie plan also gives you much better stats than google analytics. You can also get heatmap - links where people are clicking. This type of data is much accessible from analytics like this than google. I'm moving away from services like google because they're getting too much data about our server, hosted files and interaction by using such scripts. I'm not going to give my data so openly to search engine like that. Anything is better than evil google analytics, me thinks. So far these are the tested analytics which perform much better than google analytics for me. Piwik reinvigorate (snoop)icerocket trackerhistatsmintThese analytics services can replace google analytics and so are worth to use for those who operate affiliate sites or sites with google adsense ads.

Just installed W3COunter on one website and the data is fetched for this week. I also got report fo the data and everything is similar to analytics. In fact it is more easy to access the information than analytics. I have noticed lack of goals and conversion feature in w3counter which you can usually find in analytics. You'll find that w3counter uses javascript and flash for the displaying the data related to website. It's much faster on any normal browser compared to analytics. You can join it for free with one site profile. For multiple sites and advanced feature like analytics and live view. You need to get pro subscription which costs only 30 dollars per 6 months. For one year subsctiption they charge 80$. You can use even free with 2-3 email accounts. That will be fine as well. The reason analytics shouldnt be used is because if you're using affiliate marketing site then google can penalize you. Most of the backlinks are easily checked by google and that is one reason we should avoid analytics for affiliate sites. For adsense sites, you can use it to track the adsense data. One more reason you should not use analytics is because of lack of live features which you can only get with other analytics sites like piwik, w3counter etc. So i suggest going for these analytics if you're into affiliate marketing. My experience with W3counter is good and i can suggest it to my friends who are into affiliate marketing. Surely they'll benefit from this feature. If you want less flashy interface with complete stats and details then icerocket tracker is one good analytics to track or to use. It's similar to w3counter but much easy and quick to load on low internet connection speed.

Just one update here. Icerocket seems to be having a lot of downtime these days. So if you wish to have uninterrupted analytics service then consider any other package for now. I lost some of my data and the stats with icerocket for now. I don't know if it's even worth using anymore. There is not even any email or stuff from them, they just got downtime and account removed just like that. So not worth investing time if you're serious about your analytics and the stats. Much better to use third part with some limitations rather than using software like icerocket. Instead you can look for woopra, open web analytics, w3counter or some other free and non-google or microsoft softwares. That way you can surely use the stats without any interuption and don't have to worrt about the data or stat loss. I checked open web analytics when i lost icerocket on one blog. Open web analytics offers you a better package of analytics similar to google analytics with features inside your wordpress blog. You can also have standalone features and sevrices but if you're running wordpress then they do offer entier package under plugins. So you just have to use it under your wordpress dashboard. Just download the zip file and upload it to wordpress plugins folder. Then there will be plugin activation inside your wordpress blog. You'll be able to update and use open web analytics from the wordpress dashboard itself. I don't suggest this method for those who have multiple installation under same hosting account. In such case better to get single site hosted somewhere and from there you can always get the open web analytics stats. Few more points about this software is that it is totally free and open source. You get the source and do anything with it within open source license. It is free and regularly updated. Some of the features mimics google analytics type reports and stats. So in short it is one good stat package to have for those who want alternative to analytics service like google and icerocket.
