If you know any Perl or PHP then a hit counter is pretty simple... otherwise search for a pre-made script or a tutorial. Google is your friend...

the good thing about statcounter is its invisible .. if you are a web designer or you intend to design a "good" site you shouldnt actualy be able to see the counter and you should just expect to get a floud of veiwers

just my opinion
