text: how can i get a hit counter for free for my site without registering for a username? free html for a hit counter that doesn't require me to sign-up/register with a website. i already have too many accounts! to not register, you would have to install your own script.  there are many scripts you can use:  http://www.scriptarchive.com/counter.html http://www.comptechdoc.org/independent/web/cgi/perlmanual/perlhit.html  the 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)..
