Quote (WATERDOG @ Nov. 24 2007,1:49 pm) | Seems like last week, maybe a bit longer, HDF was at #21. Yesterday #31, Today #32. I'm going to guess somebody is counting clicks somewhere, or something similar. How can we boost this count back up? |
A few years ago, we were in the Top 10 of that list. I think the highest we got was #8.
This is how it works. It counts "unique" IP hits daily. Unique meaning, if you viewed the site 100 times in a day with the same IP, it would only count as 1. Typically if you have a broadband connection or you connect from work, you'll have the same IP all day long. Also, if you are on a network behind a router, everyone from the same network will show the same router IP counting as 1 for everyone. On the other hand, if you are on dial up, you can be assigned different IP's for each session that you are dialed in for. In that scenario, 1 person can register multiple unique IP hits in the same day. This is rarer than the first scenario though.
There are 2 reasons we have dropped on the list. Firstly our traffic is down by 80% of what it once was. Secondly, there are many sites on that list that have increased in traffic.
Ultimately, it is not even worth trying to manipulate.
