Using google analytics or something of that kind you would get 
proper visitor counts (plus metadata) on all pages. The basic 
setup is very simple (a little tag on all pages) and provides a 
lot of insight:

The sky is the limit with these kinds of tools, but you probably 
do not want to go there.

There might be ethical objections. Both golang.org and 
www.rust-lang.org track their users. Just search for 
google-analytics in the page source.
