Hi

Does anyone know about a program that will count how many times an visitor has visit my site?

I want to have a competition on my site, where a coockie is placed on their computer when they write their name, and push submit. Then the person can collect point for every time he visits my site. The person that has the most pageviews on my site for each month, wins a price.

Have you checked out the following scripts and articles?

http://webreview.com/...8/07/perl/index.html

http://www.nihongo.org/...ies/cookiestats.html

http://www.illuminatus.com/cookie_pages/code.html

Most of these are found at Perl Archive:

www.perlarchive.com AND
www.cgi-resources.com

Regards,

It's not very difficult to write a program in VB or C++ that would dial ISP - open the browser - hit your site - close the browser - and dial ISP again.
I hope you know what I mean, otherwise you'll lose all your prizes within a day or two!

yes, that doesn´t matter. I want as many hit as possible in the one week the competition is running (have advertising on my site).

So, what's the first prize? Can I participate?
