Special Hit Counter

[shdwofthesrpnt]

I have a question regarding hit counters. To anyone's knowledge, is there such a counter that will tell me what time my website is most visited? My webpage is over 300 pages and doing certain types of updates can take awhile.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about a "hit counter" that would do that but there are several services that you can use to get that kind of info -- Google Analytics being one.

as medyman said this isnt a hit counter.

this is an analysis. Do a search of google and you shall find there are some free ones floating around. The one I use if called Funnel Web Analyzer. This is freeware software, however you need access to your website log files, which I believe you would need for any analytic tool of this nature.

Try Google Analytics. http://www.google.com/analytics

Actually, there is one, and it's free, and it's easy to set up, and it updates often, and it is amazing the details you can get.

Try getting this:

top 25 browsers to visit your site
top 25 OSes to visit your site
top 25 extensions (.com, .co.uk, .de, etc)
top 25 robots
top 25 hosts
top 25 visited pages
top 25 referrers (which site/page they came from)
top 25 search keywords to find your site.

And that's just the over view page! Then you have visits broken down by last year, last month, last week and last day, plus total visits, and unique visits.

But wait, you also get time stats that show break down of visits in a bar graph for each of those categories (I know my site is most popular in the winter months, during the early morning hours on Thursday through Monday).

And you get detailed IP stats, and you can set this to save how many you want (mine is set to save the last 400). With that you get the IP, server, host, link referrer and entry page of the visitor, how many times they loaded the page, how many times the came back, how long they stayed, and on and on and on...

All you have to do is upload it, and add 3 lines of PHP to your pages you want counted (I have mine on over 1200 )

it's found HERE and is called bbclone - the web counter on steroids. I have been using it happily for over 2 years.

Thanks Blizzard, that looks amazing!

You're right Blizzard bbclone is the best free counter avalaible , here is the code snippet to display the total unique visitor sessions to your site

<?php
//------ Display Total Unique ----------------------
require("bbclone/var/access.php");
$totalcount = $access["stat"]["totalcount"];
echo "Total Unique Visitors $totalcount<br />";
?>

I have a question if we have graphics images of numbers ( O,1,2,3....) is there a way to display them instead of text numbers ?

Searching in BBclone's forum and didn't find anything
