In 2009 we had 4,203,379 page "hits" and in 2010 we dropped down to 2,591,604.
PH is becoming the suck. |

Just 2.5 million? I'd get the site out of the air. |

I know, working on it. 2010 - 2,591,604 per month 215,967 per day 7,100 2009 - 4,203,379 per month 350,281 per day 11,516 I was thinking how this drop happened. I did have the site register only for a great portion of the year. I opened it back up just a few months ago. Meaning, you had to be logged in to view any content. I also killed off a lot of bots trying to increase page load times. I'm guessing the bots must have contributed a lot to that 1.6 million page "hits". |

Might be.
And the Burt Farv dust might finally be settling down a bit. I know that a lot of people here had accounts to discuss him in just about every thread. That certainly died down this season. |

Speaking wholly unscientifically, ISTM that traffic has dropped off more in the last couple months.
But that could just be because it seems like Foster isn't around as much, and I miss that guy with the collection of silly striped blue pants.

None of the above. It wouldn't have been a wasted vote. Obama and Romney -- Those were the wasted votes. |

I would love there to be a law that abolishes abbreviations. |

I'm pretty sure we were both yanking your chain, Wade.
Though I do share Kevin's distaste for internet abbreviations. |

Hits are such a poor way to measure web traffic. Visitors and unique visitors are much more accurate. A hit on a website is on any file that is called from the server. Let's say this page has 10 images, 2 javascripts, 1 css file, and a php file; that would be 14 hits for this page alone, greatly misrepresenting how much traffic comes to this site when measured in hits. |

That's insane, I've heard of hit counters like that, but in over a decade of web development and administration I've never seen a counter behave like that. I quoted the word hits for a reason and I didn't say it was a good measure of web traffic, but its the only one I have available since we used three hosts during 2010 and I no longer have access to the good stats from the original host. The counter here increments by one whenever a .php file is loaded from the server. Hit F5, counter goes up by one if you are on the site and not a file. Click a link on the forums, counter goes up by one. Etc ... it doesn't count graphics or CSS files or db queries, nothing like that. It's a very simple counter. There's also a mod I can that tracks each unique IP, but I think it slows the site down so not worth it to me. The amount of hits don't matter to me all that much, but I like stats so I do check them out from time to time for grins. |

Check out Google Analytics. It's free and better than anything any host can offer. |

Maybe this has something to do with the dropoff? |
