How do you count page views?

[lydia09]

Hi everybody,
I've seen on this forum a few times now that people sometimes put up a site's unique views and total views per day. I'm curious, how is that counted, and how can I get at that for my site, so I know what kind of traffic I'm getting?
Thanks,
Lydia

Also you can try the Webmaster tool from google.

Not everyone knows PHP, that's why maybe.

You can use Counters from GoStats.com are very easy to put on your website. You don't even need to learn HTML. All you have to do is signup, recieve an email, and then get a couple lines of HTML code that you will insert into your webpage to display the counter. It's that easy! click here to sign up!

Yes, Histats is fine. In fact its what I use. They have a lot of counter skins´so they surely will have one that suits your website

If you sign up for Google Analytics, you'll get a lot of statistical data about your website.

Some of it may be too advanced for a beginner, but the information it provides is very useful.
