Adding a Site Visit Counter & Clustermap

A site counter is a great way of recording how many visitors you have for your blog and where they are when they watch. There are some different forms but some that I like are EasyWebCounters, SuperFast Counter, Clustrmaps and .

To get the web-counter go to the above website.

1. Select the style of counter you want.

2. Enter the web address of the blog or wiki. Start the counter at zero. I prefer page views so the hit counter goes up faster.


3. Click on 'Get Your Counter Code'.

Just copy the html code, go to your blog design template and add an html gadget. It can either go in the side bar or down the bottom. Don't put it in an ordinary post as it would soon disappear from view!

With Superfast Counters you don't actually see the advertising. You only see it if you click on the counter and you get a preview of where the advertising leads to.

ClustrMaps is cool because not only do you get the site statistics but you get a map to see where people are coming from. The bigger the red dot the more viewers you have in that area.
