A web counter or hit counter is a computer software program that indicates the number of visitors, or hits, a particular webpage has received. Once set up,these counters will be incremented by one every time the web page is accessed in a web browser.
The number is usually displayed, with image or text, as an old inline digital image, a plain text or an old mechanical counter. Image renderization of digits may use a variety of fonts and styles; the classic example is the wheels of an odometer. The counter is often accompanied by the date it was set up or last reset, otherwise it becomes impossible to estimate within what time the number of page loads counted occurred. Some web counters were simply web bugs used by webmasters to track hits and included no visible on-page elements.
Counters were popular in the 1990s, later replaced by other web traffic measures, at first by self hosted scripts such as Analog, later on more typically remote systems that used JavaScript, like Google Analytics. These systems typically do not include on-page elements displaying the count, though. Thus, seeing a web counter on a modern web page is one example of retrocomputing on the Internet.

Kiriban
Some websites have been known to offer prizes to the visitor who makes the web counter roll over to a specific number[citation needed] (known in Japanese as a kiriban), and such events are frequently considered scams.
