People on the website at one time

[Langeveldt]

Just broke the 200 barrier for most people online at once.. I guess that includes guests as well, but that is pretty good going!

 

[NikhilN]

Damn...thats a lot for a forum with 2000 members

 

[Neil Pickup]

A lot of the guest users are search engine crawlers.

Does Marc fall under that category?

Still, more users, whatever shape or form must represent increased popularity

 

[Neil Pickup]

Crawlers i.e. automated trackers/bots that index pages onto search engine.

 

[age_master]

still alot of people online at the same time

 

[Neil Pickup]

They're not people!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

They're not people!

They're not all bots either.

I remember looking into it a couple of months back and about 20% of guests were search engine crawlers.

That leaves some 160 real people or thereabout.

[Slats4ever]

[James]

Bots are search engine crawlers.

Last time I checked about 20% of guests were bots so that gives you some idea.

The stats package we use gives me that information and a breakdown of where the bots actually come from. Before anyone asks all stats information is confidential.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

473

Just because they're guests doesn't mean they're bots. Some of them genuinely are guests.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Before anyone asks all stats information is confidential.

And on that note, is the stats information confidential?

Ah yes, 'tis very late...
