This is gonna seem really strange and odd, however. When you visit a website, and a counter is display, is there a way you can hide yourself from this counter, so it doesn't add +1 visitor?

Not possible, since the counter simply counts the number of requests for the page.

If it is a counter on one of your own pages, you can change it for a more sophisticate one or reprogram it. If you don't own the counter, then there is nothing you can do.

Nope, i don't own the counter, but thanks anyways. Maybe a 'cloaking' program will be made sometime.
Thanks again

If the page requires a separate image to be loaded in order to increment the counter, then you could block its URL...

May I ask - why?
