How to tell if people read, viewed or visited your blog in Blogger?

How can you tell how many people read your blog in Blogger? I've seen counters on ebay and such, is this what I have to get? If so, what/where are the best counters that are free?

The best way to do this is to set up Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics on your blog. I have it and it is really detailed - and it is free.

There is a pretty good guide for how to add Google Analytics to a Blogger blog here:
