You've had several good suggestions. Another way would be to use what someone on this list called the 'web bug' technique. I've used it, not for updating counters, but sending email notifications on specific events.
[img width=1 height=1 src="some.taf?function=whatever..."> The taf can update a counter or whatever, and return a 1x1 px gif of the same color as your background. It runs asyncronously after the original page finishes loading and can even be used from html pages or an error.htx file. I can't remember who originally suggested it, but it's a great technique.
