Frequently Asked Questions

How the 'Global Hit Counter' works ? How the 'Daily Hit Counter' works ? How the 'Live Counter' works ? Do your counters bring adverts onto my website ? Can I propose a new digit style ? How the 'Global Hit Counter' works ? The 'Global Hit Counter' increases depending on the increment type you selected. The 'Page Load' type increments the counter each time the page is loaded. The 'Unique Visitor' type increments the counter on unique visitors only. It will increment for a repeat visitor only after 24 hours. How the 'Daily Hit Counter' works ? The 'Daily Hit Counter' works in the same way that the 'Global Hit Counter' at the difference it is re-initialized to 0 every day at 00:00 (GMT+1). Also, this counter keeps the yesterday's value that you can see in a mini pop-up by positioning the pointer over the counter. How the 'Live Counter' works ? The 'Live Counter' keeps track of unique visitors by remembering their IP addresses. A user is considered online during 5 minutes. Also, you have the possibility to know where your current visitors come from in a mini pop-up by positioning the pointer over the counter. For example if you get [FR:3 | IT:2 | DE:1], you have 3 French, 2 Italians and 1 German on your site. You will find the code lists for countries here. Do your counters bring adverts onto my website ? Yes, if you enable the 'Pop-up' option in the administration page of your counter. The advert is a little pop-up with a link towards www.dominocounter.net and appears once a week only. Can I propose a new digit style ?
