HTML
Tutorial
Part
16:
Counters,
Guestbooks
and
Search
Engines
Note:
This
chapter
only
applies
if
your
web
page
is
stored
on
a
web
server,
and
not
on
your
local
hard
drive.
Both
counters
and
guestbooks
require
access
to
the
web
server
on
which
your
web
pages
are
hosted,
and
the
ability
to
write
CGIs.
However,
for
those
of
us
who
host
our
web
pages
at
a
service
provider,
and
not
on
our
own
web
server,
and
do
not
want
to
write
our
own
CGIs,
there
are
free
services
who
offer
counters
and
guestbooks.
Counters
A
counter
is
just
what
you
would
imagine
it
to
be:
a
count
of
how
many
people
have
accessed
your
web
site.
This
is
very
useful
information,
but
not
necessarily
information
you
would
like
to
display
to
everyone!
If
you
don't
expect
your
site
to
get
many
"hits"
(visits),
consider
displaying
the
counter
on
a
page
that
only
you
know
the
address
for,
and
not
on
your
main
home
page.
Guestbooks
A
guestbook
is
a
page
where
visitors
can
enter
comments
about
your
site,
and
especially
view
the
comments
left
by
other
people.

The
following
web
sites
provide
you
with
free
guestbook
facilities
(they
typically
provide
you
with
a
page
where
visitors
enter
comments,
and
then
store
all
the
entered
comments
for
you):
Search
Engines
If
you
are
providing
a
commercial
service,
it
is
a
good
idea
to
submit
your
web
page
location
to
several
different
search
engines.
All
the
major
search
engines
provide
you
with
a
screen
where
you
can
submit
your
location.
Look
for
a
link
to
this
on
their
home
pages.
There
are
also
a
few
services
which
will
submit
your
location
for
you
to
many
different
search
engines
at
once,
saving
you
having
to
go
to
each
search
engine
yourself.
Inktomi's
Guaranteed
Search
Engine
Submission
service
assures
that
your
web
site
pages
'get
in'
and
'stay
in'
the
search
index
which
powers
top
search
sites
on
the
Web,
including
AOL,
MSN,
iWon,
and
HotBot.
Plus,
you'll
receive
benefits
you
don't
get
with
basic
submission
services:
