Free Counter Services

Welcome to FreebieList.com's Free Counters and Trackers section. If you've built a Web site, a counter is a very important piece of kit to have. Without it, you will not be able to monitor how many visitors you're receiving. Below, we review a wide range of counter services, from the traditional that simply track numbers of visitors, to more sophisticated trackers, which monitor all kinds of visitor information, such as the browser version a visitor is using, the country they're located in, or which search phrases they typed in to find your site. The majority of the services we review below also monitor referring sites, so you can see who's sending you the most traffic. A number of these services also provide password protected statistics, so you can keep your visitor numbers away from prying eyes! If you happen to stumble across an outdated link, we'd very much appreciate it if you could report it.

> Whilst AddFreeStats logs an impressive amount of information on site visitors, accessing the administration area can be tedious due to the longwinded log-in process and amount of pop-up advertisements.
