Page Hit counters
What do ISPs use to measure page hits on their various sites and pages?
Are they 3rd party applications or is it something built into the webserver?
Cheers,
John.

Re: Page Hit countrers
count.cgi is the normal one used (certainly the one offered by Demon).
Requires cgi script access on your web host (or a host that hosts the counter for you). Simple iteration counter, each time the page is loaded.

I-web (for example) have 3 (I think) web stats packages installed, hit counters nowaday's are only useful for fooling gullible surfers in to thinking a site is popular.

Re: Page Hit countrers
ISPs can just pull their server logs to look at things like page hits and most hosting companies allow you to view the logs for your site if you rent hosting from them.
If you want to do it yourself, it's dead easy to write your own as long as you have php or cgi available on your web host.
