How the 'Global Hit Counter' works ? How the 'Daily Hit Counter' works ? How the 'Live Counter' works ? Why doesn't my counter increase ? Do your counters bring adverts onto my web site ? Can I propose a new digit style ? How many counters can I create ? 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. Why doesn't my counter increase ? First, read the section about how the counter works. After, check if the 'Site URL' field contains the exact URL address of the site that uses this counter (e.g. http://www.geocities.com/mysite/). The counter is increased only if it is called from the URL specified. Do not put addresses using web redirection otherwise the counter will not increase (case of the addresses in .fr.st, .euro.st, .new.fr, etc...). If your site has several URL addresses, put them all, separating them with a comma (e.g. http://www.mysite.com, http://mysite.com). After these verifications, if the counter still doesn't move, set the 'Site URL' field to blank. Do your counters bring adverts onto my web site ? No because this is against the policy of the site. You only have a link towards www.dominocounter.net when you click on the counter. Can I propose a new digit style ? Yes, you can propose a new digit style but you have to be the author. Send it in a zip file to  .
Here are some recommandations:- Provide an image per numeral and name them 0.gif to 9.gif - The file format must be GIF (you can use transparency and create an animation if needed) - All the numerals must be the same size with a maximum size of 40 x 40 pixels - An image at the left (left.gif) and/or at the right (right.gif) is authorized and the height must be equal to the height of the numerals - Specify the name of the style and the address of your web site if you own one Note that your digit style will not necessarily be accepted if the support thinks it is not compatible with the philosophy of the site. How many counters can I create ? As many as you want. |
