Answers:

1). Check out Google Analytics:

I don't think you can put a counter visibly on a page, but in my opinion, that's amateurish.

2). Could you clarify?

You probably don't need to add a counter to see how much traffic you are getting. Check with your host. They probably provide a site statistics program. If you want a good commercial statistics program for $30US try haveamint.com.

And I agree that counters on your pages look tacky. You don't need that just a way to check your visitor statistics.

There is a sticky link at the top of this page called "information on FORMS...." that tells you how to set up forms. That's what you want to do.

It needs to be implemented on your server, as far as the program that actually sends the mail. Often this is done in PHP.

the easiest way is to probably set up a *.php page to handle your form and then make a simple form on your main page.


use this code for your php page:

<?php
$to = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$headers = "From: $name";
$subject = "$name thinks you should check this out";

$body = "$name found this GREAT site and thinks you should check it out. Go to yoursiteurl.com" }


$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);




}
}
?>

<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="4; url=URL_OF_SITE_THAT_YOU_WANT_THEM_TO_REDIRECT_TO_AFTER_FILLING_OUT_THE_FORM">
</head>
<p>Thank You. An email has been sent."<br>

<p>You are being redirected. </p>
<p>If you are not redircted in 5 seconds, <a href="URL_OF_SITE_THAT_YOU_WANT_THEM_TO_REDIRECT_TO_AFTER_FILLING_OUT_THE_FORM">CLICK HERE </a></p>;}



and this code for your form:

<form method="post" action="NAME_YOU_SAVED_THE_PHP_AS.php">

<label><br />
Name</label>
<input type="text" style="width: 150px;" NAME="name" maxlength="50" />
<label><br />
<br />
E-mail</label>
<input type="text" style="width: 200px;" name="email" maxlength="50" />

<br /><br />

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1" >
</form>

that should work fine
