Display Online Visitors on your Site or Blog
Do you have a popular website ?if yes then you could consider displaying the number of online visitors. It will give you and your readers the idea of how many people are reading the site/blog at any given time, what hours of the day are the most trafficked ones and so on.
Below you will find two online tools that offer this feature. Keep in mind that you should avoid using those counters if the average number of readers on your blog is really low;
after all you do not want to give a reader the impression that he is the only one reading your stuff. If you do that ,then he will never come to your site again.
Myonlineusers.com: this is a very simple service that will display the number of online users through a text link. You just need to integrate a JavaScript code into your template.
24Log.com: the service requires registration, but it offers several buttons and styles to choose from. Additionally you can also define the time frame that will be used to compute the number of online users.
So what are you thinking now , if you have good traffic then go ahead with these above tools.
