Hey,
I'm trying to install a tracker on my website, and it recommends..."Copy and paste the code below into an HTML section of your website that appears on every page of your web site."
Does that mean I have to paste it onto every webpage, or will pasting it onto the homepage (which not everybody will visit) do?

Read careful.

If so, you should put it in it's own file and include it in every page. This
is also useful for sections of your pages that stay the same across
pages (header, footer, navigation and so on), so that if you need to
change these parts it can be done in single files, rather than having to
change them in all your pages.
Is is a simple XHTML block?
If so, you should use SSI (Server Side Includes) to include it in all your
pages, and it will count for any page being visited.
Also, depending on what kind of counter it is, it may either count all the
hits to your pages, or unique visitors. In the first version, if the same
visitor revisits the same page five times, the counter is incremented by
five. However, if it counts unique visitors, it will only increment by one on
the first page visit. Of course, this is only true until the user revisits after
having shut down his/her browser. Also, unique visitor count is rarely
reliable due to the static nature of the web, but that's a whole other
subject.

There is a wee piece of code given along with the instructions from the first post.
So, I need to paste it into each .html file on my website?
It's no problem to do that with something like editpadpro, but I didn't want to feck it up.
I'm also open to suggestions for better, free, easy to install website visitor analysis.
Cheers,

order to collect details about the visitor attempting to identify unique
visitors to your site? Well, then yes, you should include it in all your pages
(either through C&P or SSI).
It would help if I knew exactly what wee piece of code we're talking about,
and I could give you an exact description of what it does and where it goes.
Is there a link to the page with instructions?

Make sure you paste it just about the closing body tag so it's the last thing to load. Sometimes the tracker scripts hang and if you've got it above any content it you'll get a half-loaded page while the tracker tries to resolve itself.

I use editpadpro for batch editing my html files already, so it's no problem to add it in.
