Drupal 7 - Hit/Page View counter for Articles
Another task I had to spend more time that I needed to. You would think that a simple hit counter would be a readily availble in a modual. Anyway, heres what ya do:

1) It's part of core; enable the core "Statistics" module. You can see the official notes at : http://drupal.org/project/statistics_advanced
2) Go to: Administration » Configuration » System » Statistics. You may have to enable the "Statisctics" modual first.
3) For the setting "Content viewing counter settings" check the "Count content views" checkbox.
4) Be sure to set permissions for the module at admin/user/permissions, and configure it in admin/settings/statistics.
IMPORTANT - On the giant Permissions panel, scroll down to the "Statistics" mod and enable permissions for "anoymous user" and "authenticated user"
5) You can now show the total count of the page hits, it should display in the block region you assigned.
IMPORTANT - The block name is called "Popular Content". Dont ask why.
You can see it working below:
