One trick I use -- especially for creating _some_ stats for clients who
chose a web host without any stats ability and for ~userid accounts is
to place a _uniquely named_ totally transparent GIF on each page --
where the GIF is located on _my_ web host. At the EOM, I give those
clients the page-by-page fetch stats as the counts appear in _my_ stats
for each of the GIF's. Somewhat tedious and crude - for sure - but it
beats nothing at all.
