Create A Web Counter

Web Counter is yet another very powerful tool that can really help you and guide you to better understand what your visitors are looking for when they come to your website.

This extremely important because you want to track your visitors' activities and at the same time, give them what they want from your website.

A hit counter isn't only a web statistic that serves for you to know the number of visitors who come to your Web site per day. No, that doesn't have to be its only objective. Actually, you can use it as a tool to "spy" the people who come visit your Web pages.

You want as well to know how many visitors are returning to your website, check out which Web pages are more popular, what keywords they used that made them come to your site and where they're mostly coming from, just to name you a few.

Perhaps your users are using a specific keyword that you can elaborate and expand it by choosing other keywords that are related to the one your visitors use and write about it.

Because you never know what is making your website popular. A stat counter is a tool that teaches you and helps you to improve your website. So be sure to add a hit counter to your website after you finished creating one!

Free Hit Counter Providers

As you may already know, there are hundreds of websites that offer you a hit counter service. But I would say 90% of all the services out there are actually not that useful. There are only a few that till this day continue to give you amazing statistics and results. And there's really no need to pay for one!

But before I go on, if you're building a professional website, I would first recommend you to check if your Web host already provides you a free web tracker because the majority of Web hosts tend to have a really good one that is quite useful.

Whether they do or don't doesn't matter, because I would seriously suggest to all webmaster to use Google Analytics! I mean a lot of webmasters out there, if you see what they're saying, think Google Analytics is one of the best free web stat providers out there. The tools and the information they give out about your website is quite impressive for it to be free! Be sure to check this one out: Google Analytics.

Other good free ones are StatCounter and SiteMeter. Both of these services give out literally valuable data about your website and your visitors. Perhaps, they are more helpful for newbies, but they are also the best ones I know.

As you may be aware, in order to have each Web page tracked, you must implement a hit counter code that the company will give you to each Web page.
