WHATS FOR FREE
If you have your own Web site and attract fewer than 5,000 hits per day (typical for
the majority of small sites), you can get a free Web counter, visitor polls and feedback
surveys from Q-Stats. You check your access statistics and poll results on the Web site.
Interfaces are planned in French, German, Spanish and Dutch, in addition to the English
version online now.

Following several of its competing e-mail address databases, the Populus Database has
added free lifetime e-mail addresses to its range of services. You know the idea by now,
your e-mail address is issued by Populus, rather than your service provider, so when you
change provider you dont lose your address.

With no restrictions on usage, apart from a very firm "no spam" message, Cool
List is offering free e-mail lists. The idea is simple. You establish your list and add
whatever names you want to it or distribute details of how others can sign themselves up.
You are issued a unique e-mail address for your list and any message you want to send to
everyone on the list is routed to the issued address. This is exactly the same basic
function as many other mailing lists on the Internet, but its free and doesnt
require you to install special software. The catch? Cool List tacks a little advertising
onto the bottom of each message.
