It has been a while since I have displayed a counter on any of my blogs. I have links that display my PR, my RealRank and how many links are coming in to this site. But I don’t have a visible counter that allows me to see at a glance how many people have visited my blog. I could get a free web counter from easypoll.com, and in fact I signed up for one. Signup was very easy, just a name, e-mail address and a user password so you can create more. Then from there you can put in your website address and code will be generated to give you a free counter.
The counter comes with advertising, however you do not see it, there are no banners and no pop ups, but in the code there is a link to an advertiser. Seems like an okay trade to use this service and get statistics for your blog.
Here is an example of the counter.
