What are counters for ?
 

I mean, If you rank high on them - do you get any traffic in return from them ? Or ppl use it only for stats ??

Are you sure you put the master in webmaster? http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/wink.gif

There are 3 reasons to use the counters that I know of.

1) stats
2) traffic back
3) payments

Of those 3 reasons, the first is probably the only truly valid one.
Oops.. almost forgot a 4th reason.

4) To send away a portion of your hard earned traffic.

I still have some in use... but that's mostly out of laziness http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif (and partly because others want to see the traffic but I don't want to give them the passwords for the hosting server)

IMHO, the best bet for tracking stats is paid hosting with some type of logging software. Others may disagree.

well, DO they send back anyting ?
If yes, what can I expect ? 100 ? 1k ? 10k

1-100 in the universe ranks at Sex Tracker, at http:// ranks.sextracker.com you can expect about 1 to 2k per day from getting a ranking there.

Its more for yourself to see how you are doing comapred to other days, weeks, and months.
