If I were to copy the link to a hit counter and used it as a footer, would a hit counter appear and actually function correctly at the bottom of my page?

(Just in case if you don't understand what I'm talking about, a hit counter is a little box at the bottom of a page that counts everytime someone views the website, kinda like a pedometer or an odometer.)

Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

Example:
I got this hitcounter from www.hit-counter-download.com and it says copy this code onto your page:

<table width=\"133\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\"><tr><td align=\"center\"><a href=\"http://www.hit-counter-download.com/fancy-html-hit-counters.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.hit-counter-download.com/cgi-bin/image.pl?URL=122749-2199\" alt=\"html hit counter\" border=\"0\" /></a></td></tr><tr><td align=\"center\"><font style=\"font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #330000; text-decoration: none;\">Get a <a href=\"http://www.hit-counter-download.com/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #555555; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"free hit counter\">free hit counter</a> here.</font></td></tr></table>

either :


[img]http://www.hit-counter-download.com/cgi-bin/image.pl?URL=122749-2199[/img]


or paste the entire code in an html page of your own and make this page your forum footer. to know how to do that, check on this forum how to add a footer/add music, and you'll find the answer.

I tried the first suggestion with the [img] tags, but i'm getting this error message:

Not Found

The requested URL /[img]http://www.hit-counter-download.com/cgi-bin/image.pl was not found on this server.

I tried it without the [img] tags and it seems to be working and counting properly. Thanks for your time and I'll get back if anything goes wrong. Thank you!

where do someone put the link at to upload it

I think you would need a account with photobucket or some other image uploading site that supports HTML, I think.

[img]http://www.hit-counter-download.com/cgi-bin/image.pl?URL=122749-2199[/img]

is what is typed in my post to make the counter be displayed in a post or in the welcome message :


That's different for the footer, that's what I said :

depending on what you finally wanted to do.

Oh, I see. I thought you meant put the [img] tags in the footer with it. But I decided that it looks better in the Administrator welcome message. Thank you for all your help.
