I need to block the access to my counters results

I need to find a way not to permit people enter in my counter results
(referrals, browser language, entry pages, and so on).
I've tried by htaccess, but with the counter I utilize (I downloaded it by
my web-server page of services for webmasters), if I set it on, I can see no
more the number of accesses to my web site in the home page.
Is there any other way to obtain the protection of my counter results?
thanks in advance

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Are you using a counter on
your homepage, and do not want people to see the number of visitors? If
that's the case, your hosting provider should be able to provide some
sort of log analyzer to show you the number of visitors. They will
generally require a login, so anyone else will not be able to see the
results.

I'm sorry, all dipends on my little practice of the use english.
I've a counter and two clickcouters, but when i set htaccess for each one of
these, htaccess blocks the displaying of results of the counting and the
same count of accesses to pages and links.
iI tried to use htaccess to prevent other people to see my web site
statistics about homepage unique accesses, other pages visits and link
clicking.
thanks in advance,

It is difficult to find a counter that does not display the count to
all users. Counters are designed to be easy to install and easy to
read. Most will not work if you block users from viewing them, since
the counter needs to be viewed to actually count.

Have you tried looking for a logfile analyzer from your hosting
company?

Hi. I personally use http://www.statcounter.com for all that stuff. You
just log-in and set it up........

Thanks for your answer

I'm sorry I intended to say I need to display only the number of the daily
count in home page, but not to access to all the results of the each day and
total
count and statics analysis, that is displayed in a file stored in a
sub-directory
of cgi-bin directory; similarly i need to prevent the user could read the
results
of the count of clickcounter.
The path to this file can be obtained looking at the paths of the counter,
and
for the clickounter looking at each link path.
For this reason I tried to block these pages through the setting of
htaccess, but
I couldn't obtain this without blocking the count of the counter and the
clickcounter.
Besides it's necessary I say that my server provider furnish to me also an
analysis
of accesses with all the details I could need, but they are not so perfect
because
they count also the accesses to the statistics pages and count the clicks of
clickcounters as a page visited (I don't know why); so I need the result of
the count the users can see in home page
could be related to the statistics analysis of a same counter.
Thanks, bye,
The apprentice

I think you're making this harder than it is. The Apache logs contain
all this information; if your hosting service doesn't provide you with a
decent log analyzer, get access to the raw log files and install your own.
