sounds like an excellent Idea exept how do I load the frame with the hit counter on it, and if it makes a difference I will be probably using the hit counter component that comes with FP 2000

exellent answer thank you
I while back I actually deliberated over this exact question. How to use the FP hitcounter, and not give away to the visitors how many hits I've got.
Before I could actually test my answer, my hosting service began providing hit data using marketwave.com services.
But here is what I came up with, and be warned, its VERY primative! heh
Set your site up as a frame. Only have the bottom frame be one pixel in height with that page having the counter, and the rest of your site being the upper component of the frame. If you match up backgrounds, and remove resize as well as the frame border, no one should be the wiser (unless they view your HTML source). When your visitors see the site, they will load a hit on the counter but not be able to see it. Then all you have to do is load the specific frame page directly (not through the frame) and wala! You get to see the hit counter!
Like I said....very primative, but it should work.
(it might work even better if you set the bottom frame height to zero....but I don't think you can do that)
