If you had ever wondered how to track the number of people who are coming on to any website and of them how many returning visitors, check out statcounter. Register yourself and through a series of steps it will allow you to get a java code which you would need to get installed in the source code of your website.
It is a very user friendly website, except for the impatient like me it is rather a torturous set of questions before you can get your code generated by these guys. Once the code is installed, you can login to their site and see some real details of your website viewers. It can even filter you out (as u will be going to that site to change it or update it..) provided you have a static IP. else all you have to do is reduce the count they display by one!!
Also recently i got introduced to Google Analytics which provide excellent view of all you need to know about the site visitors and their location, speed of connection and host of other things. So now i would recommend this rather than statcounter, as this is closely linked with your Google ecosystem. One problem with Google statistics is the data is 24 hrs old and does not give instantaneous statistics like statcounter.
So keep a stat of your site..
