Hits Counter

[Sam!]

I hate visible hit counters. I used them once in 2005 when I was making a Piczo website and new little about coding etc. I just implemented Google Analytics on my website, and thankfully it doesn't make anything show up in my footer. I like to keep my detailed stats (whether good or bad) to myself.

I'm surprised at the number of people who would not join a forum with a visible hit counter. You learn something new everyday.

Would you feel the same about a site that provides a link to their stats? Some sites do this so that potential advertisers can get an understanding of how much traffic the site is receiving.

If a website links to actual traffic statistics, and not a plain hit counter, that's a lot better.
