Why use a visitor counter on your website?

So you've finished that website about your favorite subject which you worked on for so long. To make sure people can find your site you submit it to various search engines like Google and Bing. But how can you know if people really visit your site?

An easy way to find out if people are viewing your site is to use a visitor counter. A counter installed on all the pages of your site allows you to see how many times each of these pages has been viewed by someone. By comparing the numbers on the counters you can find out which pages of your site are popular and which are not. With this information you can focus on content that attracts the most visitors and if you use this tactic you're website might soon become a popular place!

So how do to install the counter on your website?

It's really very easy! Some sites require you to sign up and ask for your email address (sometimes to send advertisements), Visitorscounter.com does not need such information. Click on this link: visitors counter and copy all the code in the textbox. Now open the HTML files of your website on your computer and paste the code between the<body> and </body> tag. Save the files and then upload them to your webspace. Visit the pages in any web browser and you will see that the counter is installed. To change the colors of the counter just adjust the values of textColor and bgndColor which are between the quotes or visit VistorsCounter again and use the color tool to find the ones that match your sites theme.

You will find another feature of the free counter by clicking on it. This will lead you to a page which shows you where your visitors come from. Visitors can come from various places; a web directory, your friends website, a social network or a search engine.

A counter on your website gives you valuable feedback and is a great addition to your site!
