the easiest ones use FSO (FileSystem Object) and ASP. just do a google search and there's ton's of examples/code snippets.

you can get javascript, or you can use asp application varible.. each hit increes the count of the variable.

You need a PHP/ASP script that would increment a count and save it in file / database. You may need the ability to generate a nice looking counter image dynamically, based on the value stored. Some PHP skills with GD?imagemagic will be enough. You might be able to find a number of ready made scripts with different levels of complexity in hotscripts.

tons of free downloads available - php/asp, file sytem/database , basic/very complex. get the one of your choice and go.

If you are serious about checkign stats of your site, use google analytics insteads. Hit counters are ameturish.

I ultimately set up a wondeful web counter which allows a number of different counter styles. In addition, it has plenty of statistical charts, all are free.

code taken from w3schools.com

<%
Set FS=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set RS=FS.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("counter.txt"), 1, False)
fcount=RS.ReadLine
RS.Close

fcount=fcount+1

'This code is disabled due to the write access security on our server:
'Set RS=FS.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("counter.txt"), 2, False)
'RS.Write fcount
'RS.Close

Set RS=Nothing
Set FS=Nothing

%>
<html>
<body>
<p>
This page has been visited <%=fcount%>  times.
</p>
</body>
</html>

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs on application startup
count++;

    }
You have to access this count in your page

I keep it really simple. I cheat. What I do is use a program called coffee cup web form builder . I create a web form with only a submit button on it. I rename the button to something like "free anti-virus" program & place it on my web site. When some clicks the button it takes them to a free antivirus site like avg free and it emails me that someone pressed the button. People can't resist free stuff.

This might be a bit confusing to you but take a look at my business site http://www.4420115.com - www.4420115.com .

If you want me to make you a button to place on your site. Simply tell me what you want the button to say -- ex. free desktop wallpaper or whatever & give me address of the site you want your visitors to be taken to. It can also simply be a link to another page on your web site. If you want me to build it give me your email address & I will configure the button to send you an email when someone clicks the button .

Or if you want to download the free trial coffee cup web form & tinker with it I can answer any questions you may have.

Good Luck

Go for a google search and you'll get free codes for lots of free Hit counters. All you need to do is just paste this code inside your website's html code and It'll be all.
