MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / May 2007Can I put a site counter in a website created in Publisher?
I have created my website, now I would like to put a counter on there to track site traffic. Is there a way to accomplish this? K Kelsey, Sure. Do a Google Search for counter and find the script that looks best for you. Mike Opinion: Counters are a waste of bandwidth and web space. They serve no purpose whatsoever for the viewer. Do you really think anyone but you cares to see how many people have visited your site? If web stats are important, download your server's log files and use a program that interprets them. > I have created my website, now I would like to put a counter on there to > track site traffic.

Do I view the site in the wepage view and then click on view source and add it there? Thanks for the help.

You can use the Insert HTML code fragment tool to insert the code snippet into the Pub page. You do not edit the code directly. Make all edits in the original Pub file, and produce new html from there.

David, Thanks alot. I even had my daughter assist me and she is really good at websites and she tried different ways of adding it. I now have the site up and running, with the counter. We will also be using the behind the scenes webstats as suggested by Mike. Again thank you very much. One website done, two more to finish.

Kelsey, If you have access to your log files, you ought to download and install Log Analyzer Lite: http://www.alterwind.com/index.html?from=about&ver=310L Pretty impressive array of stats. And the Lite version is free! Mike > David, > Thanks alot.

Your webhost probably has some built-in webstats that you can access via the control panel. Those stats will be far more relevant and complete that a counter. Part of what Mike is saying too, is that less is more, on your home page. The more "stuff" you add, the slower the page will load. When you think about adding something, ask yourself if it adds to the viewers experience, or distracts from it. K.I.S.S. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Counters are one of those in my opinion. DavidF > David, > Thanks alot.
