Visitor counter is a web component which can inform you about how many times your website has been visited. Visitor counter is a very usefull tool to measure your website's popularity. You can also add a visitor counter to your blog to see how popular your blog is. In this tutorial, I want to show you how to add a visitor counter to your blog.

Get A Free Counter
First thing you have to do is get a free counter from the internet. In this tutorial, I use a free counter from free-counter-plus.com. To get a free counter from free-counter-plus.com, you just need to enter your website address and from what number your counter will be started. After that, choose the style of counter you preferred. See the picture below.

Copy The Code
Click on Sign Up button, then you will get the HTML code for your counter. Don't worry if you don't understand about HTML, you just need to copy that code.

Add Gadget and Paste The Code
Log in to your blog, in this example I use blogger.

In blogger dashboard, click on Layout link then the page below will be shown.

Click on Add Gadget link then the popup window below will appear.

Scroll down on that window and find HTML/Javascript option. If you have found it, click on the plus sign. After that, a window like this will be shown.

Give the title for your counter like Total Visitors or something else. Then paste the HTML code to the content textarea. If you understand about HTML, you can also costumize it. Click Save to add new gadget to your blog.

Manage Your Layout
You can decide where your visitor counter will be placed. You can do it by dragging and dropping your gadget to the appropriate place.

Click Save when you're done.
