Download Counter

If you are a web designer that offers downloads for your visitors, you may want to be able to count how many times your content is downloaded.
You may find a plugin that will require you have to add a class to every link so it can track the link. For me, honestly, that seems like a lot of work.
http://statcounter.com provides a very good history of all the links, pages and downloads of your website.
You include a code on all your pages, and if you are using php includes this is relativitely easy.
I ususally put this code right before my ending html tag in my pages.
Then you log onto the site and view your stats. That is all you have to do!
Which I think is nice because it saves a little space for more website content instead of downloading a plugin of some kind.
I know this sounded more like an infomercial but where else would I put this?
