I own a small real estate website and I want to add a visible counter
on to the bottom of each new listing (approx. 10 listings per week). 
It would be nice and easy if it was the same HTML code for each rather
than having to put a customized code on to each new listing.  What is
the best/easiest way to have a counter on each listing?

A free counter can be found at:
http://www.statcounter.com.

You can have a header or footer page which gets imported into each web
page, then you have to paste it once only in the header or footer and
have it automatically included on every page of your site.

You may not need a counter. All you have to do is check your server
stats. Most good hosting Co's provide stats that you can view thru a
control pannel.
