If anyone is as html challenged as I am this is a really great way to put a counter on your site that tells you who came to your site, where from (ISP), what country they were from (even shows a map), how many hits per day, etc, etc, etc. etc - and it's all free
Check out my page here http://pbase.com/rsilfverberg to see how it looks once you've activated it (it's the small greenish icon).
If you wanna get one, go to http://www.nedstatbasic.net
I have no affiliation with these people - just thought it was a really cool product I wanted to share with you.
Let me know if you do install it - I can be a 'hit' on your counter
Oh - and once installed you get your own Nedstat site where you can check your statistics. There you can also check HOW - which will tell you from what LINK people came to your site from... So if you have a lot of direct links to a page on your site. Install this counter there - and see what links people use to get to your page
