Re: visit counters

Jumping in late...

If you can get Perl to work I've used a script called unicounter on public web hosting that has two advantages.
1) it doesn't have to be displayed to count
2) it can be set to keep track of X# last client IPs and not increment the counter on page revisit/refresh.

Disadvantage is that it requires the client browser to have javascript enabled.

I've successfully gotten Perl itself up and working on the iSeries but haven't gotten it to work under Apache on the iSeries. Chris Beck over in the Perl400 midrange.com list is going to try and report on how they did it when time permits.

You need to decide if you want to count vists to your site
as a whole, counts for each page, etc. 

One trick some do is make a 1x1 transparent image and place
it on each page.  If you want to know the count for each
page, then you name it differently for each page.  If you
just want counts to your index (main page), then just put
one there.  Then counting requests for that image in your
log file is pretty simple.

Then again, most web admins now don't worry much about
"hits" any more.  They just say "we're getting a couple" or
"we're getting a lot" just by looking at the logs.  :)

Is there a way to count visitors on a static page (html
only)?
Management wants to know.
