Free Counters
- Better Counter - Web Counter CGI/Java with Unique Features - Better Counter is the world's first CGI/Java counter that combines the feature to count all pages and all external links, the usability of a Java Applet and a complete analysis tool within a customisable page structure.
- AXS - A set of CGI Scripts for anyone who has access to a CGI-bin directory. This script generates hits, referrals, unique visitors and a lot more. It looks very good. Sample Stats. Recommended.
- Dyno Counter - A simple Java based counter, that allows you to count how many visitors each individual page on your site gets or the entire website. However it loads extremely slowly, it wont count users with Java disabled, may cause problems with some browsers, allows people to clearly see how popular or unpopular your site is and it doesn't give any extra information. You can have as many counters as you want as long as the content on your site is free.
- BraveNet - One of the many free services that this site offers are free counters. There are several different designs to choose from, although it shows all your visitors how many hits you got, without giving more detailed information like HitBox provides. Recommended.
- Internet Counter - A simple customisable counter for your site in a number of different styles, including the number of hits for the last 30 days.
- Extreme Tracking - High quality free stats, requires a small icon on your site. Tells you how many visitors you get, exactly how each one of them gets there, what browser, resolution, what operating system they are using, and what country they are coming from. Sample Stats. Highly Recommended. The only problem we have with this service is its customer support. Some of our visitors have complained about not getting assistance or responses to their questions.
- FastCounter - A service from linkexchange (you don't have to be a member). It also allows you to get weekly e-mail reports. The downsides are that everybody sees your stats, gives free advertising to linkexchange (although you do get a counter), and it doesn't give any extra information like some of these other services do. Several counter styles are available. No porn or "inappropriate" sites allowed. Recommended.
- FreeStats - Provides 2 different services, a free basic counter for your site with no advertisements. A stats service is also available providing basic information like how many visitors you have each day, or how much unique visitors you have each month.. However the stats service requires a big banner on your site, and is therefore not recommended. However the basic counter is Recommended.
- HitBox - Although it does not provide statistics, this is the best free service on the internet that we have found for counting how many visitors your site gets. For viewing your stats, it has a 'live' Java version, and a HTML version updated every 30 seconds. Tells you more then just your hits you'll also get information regarding impressions, unique visitors, forecasts hits of the rest of the day and much more. As well it allows you to password protect your statistics. Highly Recommended.
- ICDirect - A good counter service that counts daily, weekly and monthly visitors, and only requires a small icon on your site. It generates pretty detailed reports. Sample Stats. Using this counter also gets you listed in their directory, which can lead to more traffic for you. Highly Recommended.
- JCount - JCount is a set of animated web page access counters that are available as free access counters. Although they are Java-based, they include a backup counter for those users who do not have Java support. You can choose from a selection of different digit types or change the number displayed at any time you choose by using a simple configuration screen. Paid subscription service available too.
- NedStat - Not only a counter, but a very detailed stats service as well. Its very similar to Extreme-Dm. However they only tell you the referring pages of the last 25 visitors, unlike Extreme-dm's complete list. All it requires is a very small icon on your page. However one downside to this is that all your visitors will be able to see all your stats simply by clicking on the icon. NedStat is now also offering two-week trial periods for its more advanced and detailed NedStat Pro. NedStat also offers a version in Dutch. Our only complaint is that the service is down from time to time.
- Mnet Web Services - A basic counter for your website, but with a twist. There are 40 separate unique customised counters, by placing an image next to the counter to represent your website, many of the images are animated. Only one per website. As well below the counter there is a small image linking to their website. The downsides to this counter are that everyone can see your hit count, and it doesn't give more detailed information such as hits per hour, hits on a particular day and such, but for a basic counter it's pretty good.
- SiteFlow - Free for websites that receive up to 500 hits per day. Lots of detailed statistics, the entire list of features can be found here. It looks like a very good service for small sites. A password is required to view the stats, so you don't have to worry about everyone having access to them. It even has an option to make the counter invisible. Recommended.
- TheCounter - Looks like a very good service. Here's a fast, reliable free page counter that offers loads of information about your site's visitors (such as domain, browser, OS, hourly weekday & monthly stats, resolution, colour depth and referring page).

Highly Recommended.
