2009-10-04_165017 whos.amung.us is the best-known counter I know of. It can count how many people are online right now, and whos.amung.us can also tell you which posts those visitors are reading. Most importantly, whos.amung.us requires no registration and costs nothing. You don’t have to give them any information to use their service.

I’m sure everyone knows how to add a sidebar on their own, so I won’t go into that here. XD

Once you’ve installed whos.amung.us, click the whos.amung.us image on your blog. It will take you to another page that shows how many visitors are currently reading your blog and where they’re coming from. (Click the image below and you’ll see what I mean. XD)
