What the heck!

[Erkki]

What the heck!

There are 101 members in Estonia's parliament. Maybe they all visited the site together?

[ragnar]

What the heck!

Unusually many gooblebots is my guess.

[Garyos]

Unusually many gooblebots is my guess.

Yeah, they ruin everything.:(

Isn't there some way to make them not "count"?

[Marek]

I've already disabled the identification of spiders in the "Who's Online?" bar.

[ragnar]

But does that mean that googlebots doesn't count or that they just isn't identified, but still displayed as "Guest"?

[Marek]

Doesn't count. Maybe it's all the BS3 threads. Our stats went up quite a bit yesterday.

[ragnar]

Yes, there are quite a lot of BS3 threads.

[syntheticgerbil]

Haaaa like the Dalmations!

[mycroft]

It's not because of the BS3 threads,but the BS3 piracy threads.;)

[twifkak]

Lol :p

[Zanthia]

Stole the words from my mouth :)

Marek: Don't you have statistics about the main site and the forum? Those usually include statistics about referrers, i.e. where people got to the site from.

Yes we do :)

[Marek]

Yeah, but almost everything comes from Google.com and it's many international siblings, which doesn't give us much other information :D

[tabacco]

Google actually accounts for positions 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18, and 19 in the top 20 referrers for this month :)

#2 is some stupid warez site that linked one of our screenshots. Rather than banning them, I started feeding them http://www.adventuregamers.com/images/showimage.php?showdummy=1

Also, as of last week, news.google.com is carrying us as a news source. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&edition=us&q=uru is a good example :)
(They looked at our domain registry info and assumed we were a .nl news org ;))

Heh, congratulations then ;)

Well, don't you have statistics over search words used?

The statistics extractor I have tried (Webalizer (http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/)) removes google et al from the referrers and have search word statistic extracted.

[Zanthia]

What all thise google talk is about?

[twifkak]

Well, the original spelling is googol, but the more common spelling is Google (http://www.google.com/).

[AGA]

Google doesn't mean the same thing as googol. Read their press section. It is derived from the word, but it's not the same word.

[Marek]

Yes, we use webalizer too :) I think it's configured differently.

[Bumstead]

If you type
"broken sword" "adventure game"
into google, the first link is its Gamespot gamespace and the second is a forum post at AGs.

Anyhow, I hope they all stay :)

All I can say is .......... it had nothing to do with me. Sorry™!
