A hit counter tallies and displays the number of times a page has been visited. For example, add a hit counter to your home page so that you and site visitors can see how many times your web site has been visited, as in the example below.
You are visitor:
Microsoft FrontPage provides several styles of counters, but you can supply your own number graphics by creating a custom picture in GIF format. The picture must include the numbers zero (0) to nine (9), evenly spaced.
After you add a hit counter to a page, you can reset the counter to any number. For example, you test a web site after you publish it to ensure that it is working properly, and then you find that the hit counter has been incremented by your own visits. You can reset the counter to zero to start it over or to just count site visitors.
Note You must publish your web site to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft installed. Ask your web administrator or Internet Service Provider whether this software is installed on your web server. Once the web site is published, click Preview in Browser 
to test the hit counter.
