Hit Counter

Our counter has only one font, but it is quick and reliable. Its most important advantage is that it is local, placed on the same server where your Web page has been placed. It does not depend on connections to any other machines.

Its use is very simple. In the corresponding html file, at an appropriate
place, insert the following reference:

<img src="/cgi-bin/hitcount.pl?link=/username/countname&inverse=0">

where countname is the name under which your counter is stored in the system. It may be the name of the file in which this reference is placed, eg. default.htm, or any other string of letters, digits and dots (no / \ * [ ] + etc). The last parameter, inverse=0, means the counter value will be displayed as black digits on a clear background. The only other possibility is inverse=1, clear digits on a black background. You may wish to experiment to see what looks better on your page. All other symbols, =, ?, &, / and words have to be exactly the same as shown above. A mistake may produce no display at all, or the word "unknown", instead of the counter value.

You may have different counters, recognized by different strings for countname, on your different pages. You may also have the same counter for your different pages, i.e. the same countname in different references to hitcount.pl. Then, the counter is incremented every time any of such pages is visited.

The initial value of every counter is 1, displayed when the corresponding page is visited for the first time. This is how the counter looks (if you click on reload or refresh, it should advance by one):
