I have just started to incorporate the Google Analytics code on my
websites. It is really a good tool to see what is going on on your
site and who e.g. is linking to it and many more features.
Regarding WWP counter, yes when it was still possible to work with
html code I planted a counter on my Market WWP 3/2005 http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/worldwidepanorama/wwp305/html/WillyKaemena...
Here is the current summary overview of visitors per week from March
2005 until now.
