How to Add the Counter Table to Tumblr
A counter table displays the number of visits that your Tumblr blog has received. This allows you to gauge the popularity of your blog in a way that may be more meaningful than simply watching your followers list; followers may not always visit your blog, and people who find your blog through search engines may not always become followers. Select a hit counter service, obtain the code for the counter table that you want to use and add it to the custom HTML area of your Tumblr blog's design customization page.
