I need to add a Hit Counter to one of our websites.
Is there an app installed on the shared windows JH servers that would do this easily? If not, does anyone have recommendations?
A few options are available:
[ol]
[li]Put up a link to webalizer (yourdomain.com/webalizer) - somewhat reliable[/li][li]Use a 3rd-party javascript counter - cheezy, if the service goes out of business, you start over; easily falsified[/li][li]Use an inline javascript counter - reliable, but really easily falsified[/li][li]Use Google analytics - Won’t display on homepage, but pretty robust[/li][li]Hand-roll a server side script: asp example | php example[/li][/ol]
Keep in mind that any javascript-based service will only count those visitors with javascript enabled for the domain where the service originates.
Hope this helps!
