[edit] Copyright Violation?

Looks like a possible copyvio.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eric119 (talkcontribs).

[edit] External links suggestion

I noticed in the article's history that numerous promo links have been added and removed. That makes sense because the number of free and commercial counters and trackers is astronomical. Would it useful to include one or two of the best review sites? For example:

[edit] Review sites are not spam!

This article is a target for spam, but the two non-commercial review sites are not selling counter services and would probably be helpful to visitors who read the article to find out what kind of counter/tracker to choose. -- 81.174.208.250 23:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Review sites are spam!

They add no value to this page. This isn't a car where a review page would assist readers. Please stop posting this inutile content. (UTC)

[edit] "Professional" web design?

"As style elements, they are no longer associated with the impression of professional web design—some people consider web counters to be a "gimmicky" feature and they are thus typically found on personal pages created by individuals."

Were hit counters ever associated with professional web design? I thought they were always seen as a gimmick, and used mainly on personal home pages. 217.34.39.123 13:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the history of web-counters?

I remember these cute little things appearing right from the beginning of the web. It would be interesting if someone out there knows who created the first ones, what was the technology then and now.
