Hit Counters? You still use those?
Why? Hit counters do two things:
1. Tell visitors how few other visitors you've had.
2. Give no useful info at all.
Your web host should have all the stats you need - if you use cpanel or other 'front end' you should have access to a multitude of hit, unique visitor, country-of-origin, referrer, browser etc stats.
But welcome to DW - I've been using it since there were no version numbers and can not fault it. True, it's pricey (too pricey), but in my opinion, it IS the best.
