If you just want it a text view counter, you can use Beddoe.com, from what I can see, they don't have any link backs, so its just a hit counter. (that's a plus one ;3)
Once you have generated your code, you can open up the footer.php, in "content/themes/<your theme>/"
Now create a new line just before the closing of the list </ul> and place your hit counter code.
Example:
Code:
<ul>
<?php show_page_links('<li>'); ?>
<?php if(is_logged_user()) :?><li><a rel="logout"><?php show_lang_txt('txt_logout'); ?></a></li><?php endif; ?>
PASTE YOUR HIT COUNTER CODE HERE
</ul>
