bruce is correct. If you want something that is quick and simple that is displayed to the users then you could keep the number of hits in a flat file with just the number stored in it, such as sitehits.txt. Or if you want to break it down to page by page then you could get a little more fancy and use an XML doc to keep track of that info for you. Otherwise, if it's just for your own private viewing then Smarter Stats would be best. Although, I don't know if you can get into the Smarter Stats database to pull that information dynamically. That'd be a question for the staff here.
