6 X 6 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) When a thread accumulates a number views what does that actually tell us ? If, say, a thread has 100 views, does that mean that 100 different individuals have viewed that thread, or could it be just the same 10 people returning to view the same thread 10 times each ? Thanks. Edited February 23, 2009 by 6 X 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, thanks, I think I understand. When I see, for example, that the Scammell Explorer thread is credited with over 33,000 views that total is accounted for mostly by me, Andy Fowler and a few others viewing the same stuff over, and over, and not the entire population of Finland checking out the latest Explorer stuff on a daily basis.

It seems spiders & crawlers are particularly keen on Scammell Explorers and that probably accounts for the Explorer thread attracting vastly more views than other threads in the same section.

Question
6 X 6
When a thread accumulates a number views what does that actually tell us ? If, say, a thread has 100 views, does that mean that
100 different individuals have viewed that thread, or could it be just the same 10 people returning to view the same thread 10 times each ? Thanks.
