"hits" or unique visitors? One person viewing can be rack up anywhere from 50-1,000 "hits". Webstats are a tricky thing. Sometimes one JPG on your site gets a "hit" on your site everytime the same person surfs each page. Your stats page should be able to tell you a difference between the UNIQUE VISITORS and the HITS.

For WWW.SONNYBOO.COM Jan 11th, 2005 - 33,661 hits, but only 844 Visitors.. see what I mean?

[Truggy]

it's unique i believe....inless your on a network or something, thats what freelog's said.

[I3lade203]

Yeah if it's just hits it could just be the ammount of times you and all your friends go onto your site lol.

[Truggy]

i dont go on there at all, only maybe once every other week just to see if rheborn updated our site or not.

[sonnyboo]

A lot of the trackers can allow you to not count your own hits to the site.

[sonnyboo]

At the UK site PANARTIST.COM, 12 Sonnyboo movies have been rated in the top 20 ! Including the #1 spot for PULP DICTION

MDIFILM's Johnny WU also got 2 movies in the top 20!

WOO HOO!

and don't forget, all of the aforementioned sites, including PANARTIST.COM accept submissions, so if you want to partake in the fun of getting movies seen - visit the sites & submit your own damn movie! Nothing stops you from succeeding more than inaction...

======================



COOL NEWS - AIN'T IT COOL NEWS has a mention of the SONNYBOO WEEK at Undergroundfilm.org
