Ever wonder how many people visit your website? If you're an administrator of a website then sure you are. Post view counter or tracker is a widget or plugin that counts (and also displays) how many times a posts has been viewed. This helps blog author (and also readers) to know how much popular that post is. But to create this type of plugin, you have to know php, database, javascript etc, which is not so easy. However I've found a website, Firebase that also does the same job. You can create free accounts at Firebase and you can use their scripts to install post view counter in your blog. It doesn't matter which blogging platform you're using because Firebase works with all major blogging platforms and websites.
Signup for your free account. Follow the steps carefully given at Firebase to activate your account.
Firebase offers you to create 10 unique databases. In our case, only one database is required. Create one to store your post view stats. Give your database a unique name
