Stats Seem High!

  1. Hi -
    As soon as I moved over to Sweat365, I got a big bump in my average daily stats. The thing is though, I'm wondering if this is correct. My biggest 'referrer' is always 'Direct Link' (~80%), followed by 'Internal' (19%), and my 'Top Posts' are always 'Blog Home Page' (~28%), then 'Archives/Categories' (~24%), followed by various posts.

    The regularity of this pattern makes me wonder if there's something going on in the way Sweat365 is running / updating stuff in the background. Or does my Blog Stats graph actually tell the truth, and I've now got twice the readers I had on Wordpress?

    I noticed that too. I was thinking it could be a bug, but I was also hoping that I got more readers. I'm looking forward to finding out!

  3. They are high from a visitor point of view. Didn't notice this in testing because we weren't live but we don't currently filter out web crawlers. It's on the todo list but because it's not causing problems and it should be a pretty consistent backgound number, it's been priortized behind other tasks.

    Is it sufficient to know there's a background number of hits that are from web crawlers? We're driven by your requests so if you'd like to see us filter out these hits, let us know and we'll bump it up in priority.

  4. Just knowing the approximate level of background chatter from the spiders would be fine for me.

    Thanks!

    What is a background crawler? It would be good to know the difference or approx. I guess?

  6. Seeing both real visitor stats & crawler stats, differentiated, would be cool.

    BTW: what is Region A and Region B if I look at archive/category stats? I see bar graphs for 2 regions for 2003, 2004, 2005.

  7. Garden Mentor, that Region A/Region B for 2003,2004,2005 chart would be a bug! Let's all give Ridden Words a raspberry when we see him online... it's all his fault. ;)
