What is the best way to insert my code into my html on my web page?

You can use HTML editors (such as Microsoft Front Page or Dreamweaver), but keep in mind that a number of these editors actually modify your html code, sometimes preventing it from working properly (see below for a few examples). The best way to change the code is to paste it into your web page using Notepad, which you can find on PCs under Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad.

1. From a blank Notepad window, go to File > Open.
2. Make sure you change the "Files of Type" drop-down menu to select "All Files".
3. Navigate to your web page file where you saved it on your hard drive and select the open button.
4. You will see your file's code in Notepad now. Paste the whole counter code anywhere between the <body> and </ body> tags.
5. Go to File > Save and make sure you save it in the same place as you found it.

What if my free counter doesn't appear on my website?

The first thing to check is that the code was copied correctly and inserted into the html page you want the free counter displayed on. Make sure you haven't changed the html code, since this can affect the hit counter's performance. Next, check to be sure that you have uploaded the page to the right directory on your web server. You might also want to check to see that pop-up blocking software is disabled for your page. Refer to your web host where your web site is hosted for compatibility issues if none of the following steps work.

Can I remove or alter the html code?

NO. Doing so will result in your account being disabled. The code must appear where you have installed the free counter as-is. We do periodic checks and will remove your counter if necessary.
