Photo stats

[carrbowl]

I'm sure this is a stupid question..but I'm asking anyway. When you click on photo stats on the smug mug site. Does it only count from any one person? i.e. if you have a customer that looks at the site 15 times at the same photo, does it count as 1 view or 15? And does it count when, I, the owner views the site?

Hi Renae,

It is not a stupid question. The way our stats work is this. (Logged in users do NOT count)

If a person comes to your site, it will automatically count each thumbnail 1 time and the larger image on the right 1 time. It will never count those images again UNLESS, the viewer opts to view the image in a larger size. Each size will get counted only one time.

Does that help? Here is a help page: http://www.smugmug.com/help/acctreport

perfect...thanks...I have never seen statistics on my site before...I'm surprised how much traffic there was...


Where are all these hits coming from?? I don't really advertise my website except for people to look at them and make sure they like what I have done in the past? Over 1,000 looks at thumbnails in a month? Is it because some people just browse thru smug mug photos?
