Stat Counter

There are hundreds of stat counters on the web. However, I like using http://my7.statcounter.com You'll notice it on this page. It works great with the new blogger 'add page element/HTML' feature. Just open the box and add the code. After saving the counter will appear on the page.

They have a wonderful counter wizard that lets you change a few dozen different colors and layouts. If you do not want visitors to see your hits, then just insert the button at the bottom of the page. This can be done two ways. One by using another HTML element box. Or, by opening the template and pasting the code at the very bottom, just above the /< body > code.

In the three years that I've used the free version, I've been able to track repeat visitors, unique visitors, and compile data based on weekly, monthly, and yearly data.
