Installing Your Free Web Counter

Installing your web counter is an easy 4-step process. It should take less than two minutes and will start working from the moment you load your page.

Step 1: Sign up for our free web counter service by entering the website that the website counter will appear on. Then set your preferences, and choose one of our free counter styles.

Step 2: Press the "GET MY FREE WEB COUNTER" button at the bottom of the page and you will be presented with a text box containing your individual website counter code. Copy the html code by highlighting it all with your mouse and selecting 'edit --> copy' from the top of the browser window. You can also do this by clicking anywhere within the box, pressing 'control a' to select the code, and then pressing 'control c' to copy it.

Step 3: Open your web page in an html editor, or if you are using an online hosting service, follow their directions for editing the code of the page. IMPORTANT: You need to be sure that you are editing the code and not just pasting text onto your page. This is the most common source of complaints. Determine where you would like your counter to appear, and paste the hit counter code into your document. This is done by selecting 'edit --> paste' from your browser, right clicking on your mouse and selecting paste, or pressing 'control v'. Please be aware that it may appear as though there is a broken image in your counter. This is normal if you have not yet saved or uploaded your document, and will fix itself as soon as you have!

Step 4: Save and upload (if needed) your document, and take a look at it. Your FREE web counter should appear on your page.

Make sure that you are also able to see the corresponding advertisement that goes with your counter. While you may use any formatting techniques that you would like to place the counter and ad, including tables, divs, and other assorted html items, it is important that the ad appears as it was provided to you. If it does not, please try and paste the code again. If we are not able to verify that the ad is showing as it should, we will have to disable your account.

It's that easy! You now have a FREE website counter on your site, and are ready to being tracking your website visitors

Thank you for choosing to add an Easy WebCounter hit counter to your website!
