A very simple to use ASP Hit Counter

A simple to use ASP home made HIT COUNTER it measures unique visitors and page views of your site, it’s very simple to setup and use. So lets get to business:

1 Setup
It’s very easy to setup there are two ways to do it. The first way is to copy and paste the script below in the top of every asp page.

The second way is to copy the script below and save it in a file for example counter.inc then in the top of your asp pages paste this <!–#include virtual=”$path/counter.inc”–> $path stands for the path where you saved your file.

<% 
Dim Path 
Path = Server.MapPath("/counter.txt")
Dim PageViews, UniqueVisitors
Dim FSO, FO
Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If ( FSO.FileExists( Path ) ) Then 
	Set FO = FSO.OpenTextFile(Path, 1, False)
	PageViews = cInt(FO.readLine)
	UniqueVisitors = cInt(FO.readLine)
	FO.close
	If ( Session("Returning") &lt;&gt; True ) Then
		UniqueVisitors = UniqueVisitors + 1
		Session("Returning") = True
	End if
	PageViews = PageViews + 1
	Set FO = FSO.OpenTextFile(Path , 2, False)
	FO.WriteLine(PageViews)
	FO.WriteLine(UniqueVisitors)
	FO.Close
	Set FO = Nothing
Else
	Dim NewFile
	Set NewFile = FSO.CreateTextFile(Path, True)
	NewFile.WriteLine("1")
	NewFile.WriteLine("1")
	NewFile.Close
	Set NewFile = Nothing
	PageViews = 1
	UniqueVisitors = 1
	Session("Returning") = True
End if
Set FSO = Nothing 
%>

2 Use
Now all we need to do is show the results on the pages, and we are going to do that with the next code:

<strong>
	This site is visited: [<%= UniqueVisitors %>] times. <br />
	And guests visited: [<%= PageViews %>] pages.
</strong>

And the result looks like this:

This site is visited: [5] times.
And guests visited: [25] pages.

Warning: You must have appropriate permissions on the server to use this counter.
