FLag Counter

I talked about SEO Widget the other day and the meaning of the letters listed on the widget. Now we know what are those. SEO Widget is just one of so many widgets available and the next one I'm going to talk about is the Flag counter. We also see this in so many blogs. This will determine on how many visitors did you have in different places. It is very easy to determine because each country that are listed are represented by their respective flag. To give you more understanding, here's some of the details that I have found. There are certain requirements to be followed and here are some:

• bg=FFFFFF This is your flag counter's background color. This can be any valid 6 digit hex number. For instance, if the background color on your website is #191970 (Midnight blue) and you want it to match, you'll change this part to be "bg=191970"

• txt=000000 This is your flag counter's text color. This is adjusted in the same manner as the background color.

• border=CCCCCC This is your flag counter's border color. This is also adjusted in the same manner as the background color.

• columns=2 This is the number of columns in your flag counter. This can be any number between 1 and 9.

• maxflags=12 This is the maximum number of flags shown on your flag counter. This can be any number between 1 and 248.

• viewers=0 This is the text label on top of your counter. "0" is the default, which will say "Visitors" on the top of your counter. "1" will say "Viewers" and "3" will remove the label entirely. Any other value which includes letters (a-z) or numbers (0-9) is acceptable, as well as plus signs (+) which are converted to spaces, exclamations (!), periods (.), and commas (,). For instance, if you'd like this to say "My Flag Counter!", you'd change this to be "viewers=My+Flag+Counter!".

• labels=0 This setting adjusts whether the flags are labeled by their country code, and can be either 0 (off) or 1 (on). When set to 1, each flag is followed by its 2 letter country code.

• pageviews=0 This setting adjusts whether a pageview counter is included on your flag counter and be be either 0 (off) or 1 (on). When set to 1, a non-unique counter that counts every time the flag counter image is displayed to an end user is included on the counter.
