5. Suggestion: Don't make it visible until the number is high |
|
There was a study on general web practices several years ago that revealed the impact that web counters have on your credibility. If it's visible and the number is low, people assume that you aren't popular and that your views can be discounted. If your counter is high, people automatically give you more credibility.
So either hide your counter until the number gets up there, or start the clock at 1 million or so :)
