Web Counter for website

[Sam]

I'm using FP 2003 and would like to add a counter to my
site. The only problem is that my server doesn't support
FrontPage Server Extensions and I don't think this
version of Frontpage includes these extensions.

Does anybody have a good place to get third party
counters to keep track how many visits people access a
website?

Check with your host to see if they offer a counter, or better still see if there offer a server log
file application.

Do you know of any other sites that you can get a counter
for a website? I'll check with the host but I don't think
they offer one.

For third party you can type into your search engine 'hit counter'. If you
want a free one add the word free.

Below is a cgi script that I was told to use at my website and as far as I
know it will work with any server.


To add a counter to your page, copy and paste the following html code into
the document:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter-ord"-->

Example:

You are the <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter-ord"--> Visitor to this USGenNet
Website Since May 11, 2000.

Result:

You are the 103rd Visitor to this USGenNetT Website Since May 11, 2000.

(Note: 103rd is underlined and the color is red)

Front Page Users: To insert HTML code, switch from Normal View (Front Page)
to HTML View (Raw HTML Code)


It's not fancy and I have no idea how to reset it.

The script will only work on servers that have the counter-ord
script/cgi-program installed in the cgi-bin on the server.

Additionally, on most servers, the pages will need to be named with .shtm or
..shtml extensions, unless the server checks every page for server-side
includes (wasteful of server resources, IMO).

I've used it on several different servers... maybe it's common.

My pages... .html.

I know nothing about cgi scripts... how they work... and very little html...
I was just sharing what worked for me.

Not a script I have ever seen before, and I have used several hosts and
servers, but that does not mean it isn't common.

My pages... .html.

The server will have to parse every page for Server Side Includes to check
whether there is a hit counter (or other SSI) on the page or not. This will
slow down a busy server.

Sharing is good.
