Need recommendation for free website hit counter

There are so many "free" website hit counters out there.

Do you have one that you've been very happy with? All I am truly looking for is a tracker.

I don't even need a number display since my website actually redirects to my microsite on my company's main site.

Thanks!

Okay, so I got hooked up with StatCounter (thanks, Gilbert), but now I have the counter code, but nowhere to put it.

My website is a redirect to my company's microsite they created for me.

I have no say into putting the code in.

Is there any other way I can track activity? Do I need to get a webhost, put in the code ONLY, and then let it redirect?

Can anyone recommend a web hosting service?

Thanks again!

put that code on your redirect page if you can not modify the micro site it will still work

Thanks for the tip.

I have no control over my micro site's code. All I did (after your suggetsion, Gilbert) was put in the URL of my micro site on StatCounter.

Do I still need to install something at this point?

Thanks again!

stat counter should have generated some code you could copy and paste on your redirect page.

Okay, so I just looked into GoDaddy and they allow a free webhosting service.

I have to wait 24 hours for it to kick in, but I think I can then put in the code through there and upload it.

I'll post once this all goes through...hopefully.

It stinks being a newb at this kind of stuff.

Thanks for the continued help!

redirect page info

put your stat counter info on that page. and it would probably be best to put it before the redirect code so you know it loads before redirecting.

Thanks, I had to install FrontPage through GoDaddy.

Apparently, I have to wait a bit for it to install or whatever. Bah...another day to wait.

Thanks again.

Okay, it looks like GoDaddy provides their own web statistics.

Go figure.

I uploaded the code anyway from StatCounter. It seemed to be a waste of everyone's time if I didn't do it.

Thanks to Gilbert for all your help!
