Where to put hit counter in a frames page design

J

I built a website using frames pages. Have main_page, sidebar, topbar and
they all come together in the Index.htm. When I add hit counter to main
page or index, it counts everytime you go to another page and come back to
home. If i put the counter in the sidebar, it doesn't ever count a new
visit. Where do I put it so that it works only when a user opens the website?

I did, and everytime I click to a different page and click back to home, the
counter shows a hit.

Exactly, because you're reloading the home page, every time you click
"Home". The counter is working as it should in this case, counting every
"hit" to the page.
