Web Hit Counters

These counters are intended to simplify your Page Development. Simply add the counter as an IMG tag anywhere in the HTML body. Enter any custom parameters, and you're done!

Counters do not require scripting to be enabled and should work on any browser. Hits from browsers employing anonymizers may fail to be counted or cause a false count to be displayed, but will not interfere with normal viewers.

NEW: A text only option has been added to selected counters, although scripting must be enabled for this to work, non-scripting browsers may be accommodated using standard <noscript> html.

How To...

The counters appear as a .gif image on your web page. Simply insert an IMG tag on your page and set the SRC to the counter you need.

e.g. <img src="http://www.zenica.ca/ctrs/counter1.gif?bold=true&size=16">

Do not try to cut and paste the images themselves, and do not alter the URL paths. Only the parameters may be modified for customization purposes.
