CountVisitors.com Frequently Asked Questions
Are your hit counters really free?
- Yes they are! Our hit counters are supported by the addition of a small text advertisement on each of them. This covers our costs and allows our advertisers to reach a diverse group of new customers. In exchange, we provide you with a great service at no cost and without a big ugly banner ad.
What types of advertisements are going to be displayed with your hit counters?
- The advertisments come in the form little text ads directly under the counter code. They are usually not more than 25 or 30 characters long and are set in size 2 font. All of our advertisers provide family friendly content and have been reviewed in-depth before we accept their ads. You are provided with a link to the advertiser being promoted on your choice of counter before you cut and paste the code so that you can see what exactly it is going to look like and verify that the site will not be offensive to your viewers.
I don't like ads on my site. Can I take it off?
- No, the ad needs to stay with the counter or your account will be disabled. If you have a problem with the advertising, you can use another counter provider that charges you for the hit counter service. The choice is up to you!
Are you really going to make sure the ad is there?
- Yes. Since we charge by the number of sponsored counters installed, we have a duty to our advertisers to ensure that their ad is in fact where we say it is. So we check every install within a couple of weeks. If you're asking these types of questions, our service really isn't for you; there are many other providers out there that allow you to not show an ad. They just charge you money instead.
My site is hosted on a free hosting account. Can I still use a CountVisitors.com hit counter?
- As long as you have access to the source code of your pages so that you are able to place the code exactly as we provide it to you, there is no problem whatsoever with using our hit counters on a free hosted site.
Can I use an CountVisitors.com hit counter in e-mails?
- No. Our hit counters are meant to be used on pages that are publicly available on the internet. If we find you are using one in an e-mail, we will remove your account.
