This "flag" post reminds me of my free flag-visitor counters for my web pages. This might interest some here.
I get the free counter because I let them make a small ad on one of my counter pages. Might interest some of you for your web pages. Real cute and interesting.

Everything is accessed from one of my web pages, like this one, for example:
http://www.antiquegamblingchips.com/AguaCalienteChips.htm
I placed the counter at the bottom of the page:

If you click the counter, you get these neat informative pages:
http://s11.flagcounter.com/more/h0g
http://s11.flagcounter.com/countries/h0g

If you click the + sign near the US or Canada, you get the number of visitors from each state, like this:

If you click a country, you get details about the country, like this for Mexico:

You can get your own counter for free. Just look for what to click.

They also have a message board to discuss using the flag counters.
