This page offers you a selection of counters to choose from.  Not all of this tracking counters will work with WordPress.com.  Even though all counters have a non-java version, many of the non-java HTML code uses embedded information not allowed on WordPress.com.  You can certainly browse around and see the counters.  The counters that work on WordPress are the Hidden Tracker, the Online Visitors and the Icons.  Follow the instructions: (1) select a counter style; (2) customize counter (usually you won’t have any choice for non-java counters) and press save.  Once you save your counter choice, you will return to the counter list.  The box now have your counter listed.
