What is a Hit Counter?
A hit counter is a small piece of software that counts the number of visitors to your web pages. You can then show the number of visitors to your web page with an image such as the one below.

How can you get a hit counter?
Normally all that you need to do to place a hit counter on your web pages is to copy in a small section of HTML code that is provided by the creator of the hit counter.

Why are some hit counters free?
Free hit counters are often accompanied by a small sponsored link underneath the counter image. The providers of free hit counters hope that some of the website visitors will click those links.
