Good job, ZHPmafia ! I'm happy to help achieve the 250,000 posts milestone.

Marcus that's awesome! One question if I visited in January, February, and March, would I be counted as 1 or 3 unique visitors for the first quarter?

If he is using google analytics it does not reset. I'm not sure what mark uses for analytics though.

I'm using the analytics that the server company provides. Not sure what software they use.

True. Some people cannot understand this, though.

I don't know if they reset each month as a unique+visitor. At most you would be a unique visitor once a month, though. My guess is that you are not a unique visitor each month. Instead, you just become a visitor.

Actually, they do reset everything every month. You are a unique visitor every month.

However, depending on which computer you're using, where you're using it, etc... You're probably actually 4-5 unique visitors. My phone and laptop, used separately at school, work, and home probably account for 6 different unique visitors. These stats aren't really 100% reliable. The pageviews, hits, and bandwidth are much more accurate - on the AwStats/Webalizer logs that I assume these numbers are from.

Mark - if you want data closer to reality, installing Google Analytics (free) on the site would probably be a good idea. It has way more measurements, statistics and data on your visitors (country, computer, OS, browser, etc.). Google uses algorithms based on your location, device specs, history, etc. to determine whether you're a returning or a first-time visitor, and as such is way more extensive than the basic on-server stuff.

Actually, it is AwStats. That's the one I view.

And thanks for the information on Google. I use that for other sites I own and control.

Awesome. ZHP Mafia > every other forum.

Excellent!

I can honestly say I'm a searcher. So with all of the issues i've been having, I attempt to search using this sites search function, but I also GTS (google that $hit) too out of habit. This site comes up A LOT in my searches so I'm not surprised by these numbers.

Most importantly, I'm happy to be part of it.

We get quite a bit of google traffic. I'm not surprised, either. We get a lot of the ZHP searches for sure.
