The Metis module automates the inclusion of the so called "Metis pixel" (Zählmarke) from the German association VG Wort. The pixel is rendered as a 1x1 image and allows VG Wort to count visits to node content for royalty reporting.
Metis stands for "Reporting System for Texts on Websites" (Meldesystem für Texte auf Internetseiten).
More information about VG Wort and Metis (in German): vgwort.de, tom.vgwort.de, Wikipedia.
