Your Site's Popularity - A Job For The Free Website Hit Counter

By: Rick Martin Home | Computers-and-Technology | Software


Have you ever wondered about the main differences between a free hit counter, a free page counter and a free website hit counter? Well, these three notions might seem quite similar and they might all be free, but in fact there are a few differences between them. Depending on the purpose you intend to use the counter for, you have to decide which one is the right one for your site.

All three mentioned categories are typical counters and mainly perform the same function they keep track of the number of visitors. This means they are simple devices which show the number of visits that were made to a certain website or to a specific page within a website. Among the most common differences between them are: the number of pages that are being measured, the way the webmaster accesses the information on the website page, the period of availability for the information and the security measures that prevent counterfeiting the numbers (recordings of repeated clicks). If we wouldn't be talking about free software tools, then the price would be an important difference between these 3 categories also. Because there is a basic difference in performance between them, the price is quite different as well when it comes to sites which sell these software programs. However, freehitcounterstats.com offers clients the chance to try a free hit counter or a free website hit counter and avoid cost related problems.

When you decide which product to use (a free hit counter, a free page counter or a free website hit counter) you should have in mind the category of data you are looking for. A free hit counter can solve your traffic ranking problem easily, but it won't give you detailed analyzes and graphs about your website. That's why you must think attentively before choosing a free hit counter. The most reasonable motivation for having your own free website hit counter is that it announces you (the website's administrator or webmaster) and your visitors (potential company customers) how many times a single page on a website has been viewed. You can make the free hit counter public for visitors or non-public, if you plan to use it strictly to track the page views. Other advantages of the free hit counter are that it is easy to install and it can be graphically altered to fit your site.

On the other hand, a non-free hit counter generally provides the client with more detailed information of a higher quality. This is certainly not a rule as there are several companies on the online market that can offer a professional free website hit counter which can match up with any other non-free hit counter concerning the counting and tracking options. A standard non-free hit counter asks for money from the customer as there may be some additional work involved in generating and analyzing your statistics and there is really no reason to pay for something you can get for free.

A page counter is almost the same with a free hit counter. It performs the same activity, but it does this for more than one page (unlike the free hit counter). Just like the free hit counter, it records hits on a page most often starting from the moment the hit counter has been installed. This means it is not very helpful in providing information on a certain period of time during which the webmaster decides it is best to analyze trends.

So the best choice for tracking visitors is a free website hit counter which offers additional statistics such as the number of visitors and the number of page views. A free website hit counter offers an analysis of the situation or comparative overviews to understand which pages have been seen more than others. The person looking to improve his services by using such a free website hit counter, has many advantages with this tool. While some persons need a hit counter only to impress the visitors of the website more, others look for a helping hand in a free website hit counter to observe how the site's popularity increases or diminishes in time and to be able to adjust the content of the site and attract clients.

Having said all these about free software programs that allow traffic tracking, it is very advantageous to benefit from an Internet instrument like these without paying extra money to learn more about how to improve the business services. Any of these options: a free hit counter, a free page counter or a free website hit counter is a wonderful solution to observe the number of visitors on a site or page and to try to improve, according to the statistics, the services of your company to better suit the needs of the clients.
