I'm VERY curious.. On The rotary top 150, you have 113047 hits. And on your website referrers, you have only 949 TRUE hits from that website? What gives?



John

 

hmm. dont know maybe a conspiracy.

or maybe it works like ebay. only 949 hits are from unique users.



either way who cares, it means that our guy and girls are very dedicated.

 

To get that amount of hits, your website counter would have more then 8 times as many users day to day then it states right now, and it does count unique users in a different catagory.



J

 

We have over 1.5 million pageviews every month. The counter does not order by unique, only by the number of times the counter is displayed, so everytime anyone loads the front page, it counts one. If you vote, it counts it as a vote.... but by default the top 150 orders them by the number of times the the "code" is diplayed NOT UNIQUE's.

 

umm how do you get 12468 the most in one month to 1.5 million page views?

It doesn't seem to compute

Yes you are right as in your front page get's ONE hit at rotary top 150 on the front page, and so there goes your answer right there..



J

 

Because pageviews is everytime a page loads. The tracker is ONLY on the FRONT PAGE. 90% of the 1.5 million pageviews are spent viewing the forum pages... much like you are now. Most prolly only hit the front page once or twice a day while they load the forum several hundred times each day.

 

The tracker only tracks hits to the front page, the forum tracker is only visible by me. I am more than happy to provide you with stats if you'd like....

 

That may be true, but then how does your front page go from 250 per day on average to 113047?????? on that site? It seems Rx-7City.com was in the lead, then pow, this site was in the lead, and you do it from only having 250 hits per day, but according to them, your page sees 1000 hits per day... Someone is reloading your site a bunch of times to get that number though.. just curious

These are copied from the stat report for nopistons.com, hopefully they will "satisfy" your doubts.

I could break it down to ip's too, but I am not going to give you that info

 

I honestly can't control everyone reloading the front page, they reload it to see new topics.



You could always complain to the rotarytop150 if it concerns you so much or you could just accept that is a stupid top150 counter and it really has no bearing on your day to day life... just a thought. Pretty much all of them are flawed, but I seriously doubt anyone here cares enough to sit there and reload the page over and over again.
