Website visit

redhatrosh · 03-16-2005, 10:36 PM

There are counters on some websites that reveal the number of visitors. What I would like to know is whether some amount of money is paid to the website owner if the counter has some particular number.

In other words, for x number of visitors, $x is paid to the website owner?

I am just asking because I have heard this from someone....
Please tell me.......

Not usually... counters are just for looks. Although, I'm interested to see LQ's or Google's

Some websites host advertisements for companies and get paid by the number of hits they recieve.. nothing to do with counters though.

You can see how many people are currently visiting LQ by going to the bottom of the main Forums page (immediately below the General forum) -- J.W.

I was referring to an actual hit counter.

A lot of site work off of ad clicks too. They get some much money every time someone clicks on an add. I played an online game once and thats how they kept their server up, add clicks. Even made an event out of it. If you clicked the most you got a nice item.
