text: To not register, you would have to install your own script.  There are many scripts you can use:\n\nhttp://www.scriptarchive.com/counter.html\nhttp://www.comptechdoc.org/independent/web/cgi/perlmanual/perlhit.html\n\nThe reason why you need to register is so that the script is customized to your webpage, otherwise people would just copy the script and you would get inflated hit counts (your hits plus a million other peoples sites)..
