Q:
Statistic views what's that when it's at home?
A: Statistic views are each individual
refresh or reload of the same statistics screen or screens
the header of the statistics document is worth one statistical
view every time you click it, you can view your statistics
for an allocated amount of times for FREE, if you are sensible
with the amount of page statistics views you are given each
month for free then this should be enough for you, our suggestion
is to view your pages once a month then print them out or
even save them…
We are the only service that does
this "at the moment", primarily because no one else has thought
of it, it was originally designed to give you more services
in the statistics area than any other service, but with regard
to a sensible restriction to stop some users abusing the service
and spoiling it for everyone else when really there is no
need to.
Unlike most companies we do not
restrict what you can see of your statistics and these will
become extensive rather how many times you can see it for
free this is mainly to do with the dreaded bandwidth scenario
and may change on the amount of views allowed "up or
down" dependent on bandwidth and sponsorship support;
at the time of writing it is 25 obviously it does not just
cost considerable time to develop a site such as this it also
costs money to maintain it, I personally am only interested
in programming and coffee and in a perfect world this would
not be a problem but the main objective here is to provide
a service that does not go away after a few weeks or months
but is here for years to come and ensuring that everyone follows
a few basic rules is not too much to ask, well I think so
anyway….
Your
statistics do not go anywhere we keep them for you we envisage
at least 6 months of statistics to be stored but there are
no stead fast ground rules for this yet and we may depending
on future developments store well past this maybe even to
years to build a really valuable statistic over time of your
site, so really you can set it up and forget about it, the
best way to do this is leave your stats and collect them when
the month expires because after this time no additions will
be made to the month in question then the statistical views
allocated should be enough to get all your statistics in one
hit…
As the months progress with your
account you will see extra months appear on your control panel
each one of these is a page view so be careful when clicking
around more information will appear as the site progresses
into a better service but statistical views are only limited
to your statistics area of your control panel, you can visit
any other area as much as you like and as necessary i.e. to
change your counter number or your details and even the Wizard…
There are no statistic views accumulator,
i.e. if you miss one month with 25 page views you will not
have 50 in the following month when a fresh 25 is allocated,
if you miss a month then those views are wasted, the robot
on the first of every month as soon as dawn breaks will be
busy handing out a fresh set of statistic views to everyone,
if you have zero page views left when this happens the bot
will give you a new set of 25, if you already have 25 left
the bot will still only give you 25 for the month in hand
or not touch your statistics views at all…
If you have a paid view account
this is the only time this works on the accumulator, i.e.
if you have paid for 100 page views that is exactly what you
will get 100 page views if you use them now or in years to
come the choice is yours but regardless will still enjoy your
free 5 page views as everyone else per month as allocated…
However as said if it is necessary for you to view your statistics
more than the allocated free amount, say every day there are
fee's for doing this and are found elsewhere on this site…
