Counters and Stats

If you're bored with the counters most hosts give you, why not give these a try?

Ultimate Counter

Ultimate Counter is really the ultimate counter system. There are literally hundreds of different counter styles to choose from, or you can select to have a random style each time. Ads: a large, colourful "Ultimate Counter" button underneath the counter.

OK Counter

OK Counter is a nice service with the largest range of kawaii counters you will find anywhere, including a heap of Anime and manga ones. Counters display visitors today as well as total visitors. However, you're required to sign up to one of its sponsors every six months (or pay).

Site Meter

Site Meter is a free stats thing. It records where people come to your site from, how long they stay for, traffic, and stuff like that. Of course, if you pay for hosting, you probably get this through your CPanel, but it's invaluable for the small free-hosted site. For the free version, you have to display a symbol on your site. You can choose from a large symbol, a small symbol or a counter. If you buy the paid version, you can have the invisible option. The paid version also offers more features.

FastCounter

FastCounter is a good service. I found it a bit tricky to sign up (the main problem is working out where to sign up, rather than the actual process), but once that's done, it's easy to use. It's a nice, thin counter, in a choice of black, blue, red or green. You have to have a text link to FC somewhere on your site; it's included in the counter code, but can be edited out.
