How do you put a traffic counter in Dreamweaver CS3?

Thanks,

Is there a reason that you don't want to just use your web logs and statistics?

[Guest]

I am not sure how to use them. Can you please advise?

Contact your host, or check your host control panel. Many hosting plans include access to the logs via an advanced statistics package.

Ok My host doesn't supply a web counter script. So I went to sourceforge.net and search for a free webpage counter and downloaded the script. It worked fine. It will have easy instructions on how to use it.

But I would like to know how to create one if someone knows how.

A traffic counter is a little piece of code that counts how many people came to your website and displays it on your page with ugly looking numbers.  They were very popular back in 1995.

What most web hosts do provide tho are statistics, usually free included with your hosting fees.  Statistics are reports that show you not only how many visitors you have but a host of other useful information.  It's not displayed on your website.  Call your host and ask them how to set up the stats and how to view them.

Another good option is to go to http://www.google.com/analytics and follow the instructions.

I am not sure how to use them or where they are located. I basically just

upload the websites to our server. Can you please let me know where they

would be or how I could obtain this information.

Thank you!

You can add a Command to the page to increment a column in your database.... here's a sample of the SQL:

Update HitCounter

Set PageCounter = PageCounter + 1

Where pagename = 'whatever.asp'

except if your on ASP, because the ASP Command implementation is broken in CS3 and CS4.
