Article hit counter?

davelev · Share | #1 (**permalink**) 11-03-2011, 01:47 AM

Hi,

I saw a site having article counters on their articles and I haven't found anywhere such a widget/code for my site... I am using SM widgets and near them I want to display the number of people who've accessed the article...

Any codes/widgets available? Where to get one?

All help deeply appreciated, thanks in advance!

I just read about a CSS counter HERE, maybee this is what you need.

Thanks, but I am looking for something like what AddThis provides with SM buttons... will need a nice simply copy-paste script...

What do you mean "I still have Google"?

Google gives me "sit counters", "hit counters" that measure the whole site or only main page...
I need individual simple snap codes for each page separately to display something like: "This article has been read 45532 times"...

Would prolly just count all visits, not unique visitors...

I searched and searched and except stat counters and SM icons I could not find such an easy-snap script... maybe Javascript is enough...

Well, I think you can add a normal hitcounter to an article and modify it so that it only counts hits on the articel

.

Maybe I misunderstand what you exactly want. Could you provide a link so I can see what you mean ?

EDIT:

Mhh... Still, if you find that site you could read out the code with firebug etc.. I think they use php for that or something. They need to safe the counts somewhere, a database or a .txt file

If you Googled the right phrase/keywords you would have got your answer.

All online counter count on main domain.

So the counter for each page can only be resolved by coding on server.
(Count for each article view and update to the database)

I wouldn't be asking if I wouldn't have tried Google first.

Google gives me complete stat counters, website visitor counters etc...

I need a simple, no-database, easy-to-copy-paste script that just shows the hits of the page... one every page, separately working, separate scripts...

Such a script should be a 9-10 line short Javascript, I guess...

mm... Hit-Meter.com? I use it to track the hits I get on Craigslist. You could use it for your article as well.

I am looking for this one as well.
I've been Googling things up. All I found were those the counts the whole domain.

Let me just check and try Tedel's suggestion. Thansk man.

Hello Tedel.
I have checked it.

Its actually nice tool.
But you need to login to see the stats.

It also says that I must insert the script in every page that I'd like to monitor.

But what I wanted is, i'd like the page views count be visible in each page.

I do hope I could find one like this.

Off topic:
OP, pls excuse me if i am hijacking your thread. I hope its ok with you. Thanks.

How about a simple script that counts and displays every view of your page, but not every reload.

The idea is to count like this:
-display the count to visitors... Like: "This article has been read 4376 times"...
-must count all file hits/page loads per unique IP
-must only count once per IP code... so, it you reload, it's still just "1 view" added

That kind of script I've seen on pages, but they either protect/hide the script or is somewhere very deep in their code and linked with something else... cannot figure it out.

JACKDI - you are not hijacking my thread, it's free for all, as long as you stick to the subject...
