|
|
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be inferring from the web statistics. for example, on a particular day. For example, for a particular day, It shows:
23 Distinct Hosts Served
37 Page Views
But if I look at the Most Popular Articles, it shows an article with one view in the last 7 days.
Is there some formula for interpretting these stats? |

Well one thing you should remember is that page views are not necessarily article views. Visitors might be accessing your Main Page. The other thing is that the web stats seem to combine html requests with xml (feed) requests to get the total page views. Unless a visitor using your feed clicks on an article title, the article view count won't change.
Confused yet? Haha...I'm sure John will be along to give a real explanation shortly. |

Kyle - who did just fine thank you very much - is right that page views are not necessarily article views. You note that you have 37 page views. This means that the total of views of your articles plus views of your category pages (like the Main Page, aka home page) equals 37...
This section of the user manual will help to explain the Statistics data for you. Check it out and let us know what part you want to know more about and we'll be glad to help. |
