A Healthy Introvert?

[Bring4th_Steve]

I have not found such a magic bullet yet for this forum! I'm actually trying to find a forum plugin that attracts every single LOO reader in existence. I know it's out there, people are talking about it. So until I find that, we're going to have to rely on Plenum to build such masterful thread names. And we're going to need another server to handle 2 million page views a day, so thanks for the warning!

But in terms of trying to track generic page hits versus qualified page hits, I don't think we can solve that unless we took away the public viewing rights and made it "members only", which I know a lot of people have felt repulsed by in the past. Also, closing the content to "members only" means no search engines will be able to crawl the content, either, making it difficult for seekers to find us.

It's an interesting question why some threads get nailed, while others do not. If the title is catchy or trendy, we may be getting a lot of guest users that are simply trying to see if they are hitting a relevant result. I mean, who's NOT searching the net every day for "healthy introvert"??? So I can see why this thread is headed for millions of views.

I will confirm, however, that web crawlers and GoogleBots do "not" add to the page view count! They are filtered, according to the MyBB forums. Guests and member views *are* added to the count, so it's more than likely that humans have hit our pages before deciding whether Bring4th matched their search or not.

Hope that helps!

Lol...

We should ask Steve if there is some forum mod that tries to account for search engines and/or the same user refreshing the thread a bunch of times.
