[Web4lib] finding a web counter

[Richard Wiggins]

I agree with Dan.

Another suggestion: Google Analytics.  It's Urchin, only hosted.  It's
pretty good.  Register and add an HTML snippet to your pages.  You get MUCH
more than a counter.

Visible Web counters are very mid-90s.  Also, we had one case where a Web
counter was a link to install spyware.
