Your Countnow-Team

How does the counter work:

After the application you will get a programm-code by e-mail. You must install this code on the pages you want to count. If your page is loaded the Counter will automatically be activated. You can then check the statistics online and have a look at the people visiting your page. You will get general statistics of them. The following functions are supported: Last 20 visitors, original page of the last 20 visitors (Referer), statistics by hours, days, weekdays, weeks and months, time spent on the page, browser, operating system, screen resolution, represented coulours and visitor/page-ratio. To get detailed informations on the functions read the function description.

The code

The code to be implented onto your page looks like this:

<A HREF="/28114/english/counter/"><img src="/28114/images/minilogo.gif"
border=0 width=55 height=16 name="pic"></A><script language="javascript1.2"><!--
user="username";site="sitename";
b=navigator.appName;s=screen;d=document;ref=escape(d.referrer);mon=s.width;
b!="Netscape"?col=s.colorDepth:col=s.pixelDepth;d.images?r=d.pic.width:r=0;
d.write("<img src=\"/28114/cgi-bin/counter/counter.cgi?tag="+user+"&",
"site="+site+"&col="+col+"&pic="+r+"&mon="+mon+"&j=y&ref="+ref+"\" height=1 ",
"width=1>");//--></script><noscript><img height=1 width=1 alt="" src="http:",
"//dev99.advanced.org/28114/cgi-bin/counter/counter.cgi?",
"tag=username&site=sitename&j=n"></noscript>

Installation of the counter

Fast installation (for advanced users)

The source code you have to place somewhere between the <BODY>-tag and the </BODY>-tag in your HTML-file. You can avoid errors by placing the counter directly above the </BODY>-tag. If you are confused about the picture at the bottom of the page, you can move the first part of the source code (from <A HREF... to </A>) to another part of your site.
Two words have to be changed in the code to give the counter a hint which site has been viewed. In the code below, these places are marked with blue font. There you write a name for the site. This name will appear later in your website statistics. You can use the code on as much sites as you like. But if you are counting many files, think about a good name system.
Load the pages on your server.


Exacter installation manual

After Admission, a code fragment is showed on your screen. Exactly the same code you also get sent by e-mail. Mark this code and copy it. Now save it on your harddisk. To save, you can use a normal texteditor like Wordpad or Microsoft Word to paste the code there.
Your homepage, wherever you designed it (Frontpage, Golive etc.), contains HTML-files. You can find these files in the explorer. They have endings like .html or .htm. You should now recognize the files of your homepage by the title.
Now you have to add the counter code to the pages:
Open a HTML-file. You can do that with an editor, or you open the page in the internet explorer, click the right mouse button and chose the option "view sourcecode" (The exact name may differ).
You find some strange words you never see in the browser. These are called tags (for example. <TITLE>). You should be able to find the two tags <BODY> and </BODY>. The code you got after your subscription you have to place between these two tags. The easiest way to put the code on the page: Place it directly above the </BODY>-tag.
The statistic can observe more than just one site. The counter needs different names for the sites, so that it can distinguish the different pages. Chose for every page an unique name. This name you have to write in the code yourself. In the code below, the two places are written with blue color. Write there a name, and you'll recognize this name later in your statistics.
Finally, load the pages up to your server like you did it so far.
The statistics can't be viewed before you've installed your code correctly and the first visitor has surfed on one of your pages.
