Tutorial 2 - Counting Web Page Hits with SSI
What's Next?
If you've gotten this far - congratulations! You've actually gotten something of value for your website, namely a way to now count page hits. Just rename all of your web pages to the SHTML file type and throw the <!--#exec cgi="article02.cgi"--> statement in there and then anytime you want to know your page hits look at that data file.
But what if I don't want to rename all my pages? What about the search engines, won't I have a bunch of dead links for my old pages now? What if my server doesn't allow SSI?

Is there another way?
There is another way. You can get the count program to run from a webpage without resorting to SSI. How? That is the subject of our next article, coming soon.
