Counters are usually lame and should be used sparingly. View counts for forum threads and auction items are the only good uses I have come across. To analyse traffic, use something like Google Analytics or if you are hosted here or on other hosts with a decent set of features, look into things like AWStats and Webalizer

I don't like to keep blogs, or even a personal diary.

I am not used to sharing my life with others, and I also don't wish to write about my life. To me, bad things go by easier this way, and if I write about it I may remember it for months.

I don't have a hit counter or anything for my blog, so I have no clue if anyone is even reading it. One person has commented in some, so I know at least he's read it. Silly


Is there any free hit counters I could place on my blog? I haven't had time to check yet.


Counters are pretty old and outdated really. Alot of people don't even really believe what they say on them since the owner can add numbers and such, and also people can keep refreshing the pages to make the number higher.

I'd suggest using google analytics
http://www.google.com/analytics/

It'll tell you how many people have accessed your sites, and which pages and how long they stayed and stuff like that.

You could however use both a regular php counter and this at the same time. For fun I suppose. I'd suggest the png counter here http://www.proxy2.de/scripts.php
works great.

I don't blog regularly, mainly I don't blog at all. Very Happy I have written 2 entries since.. 2005, it's more like a personal calendar. Plus, none knows the address either, so it's pretty much non-existent. xD
