stats seem off

[JERRY JULIANO]

Hey everybody, hows it going?

Couple of questions about my stats, they seem to be a little off... to speed things up, here are some facts about my site:

www.neblinarecords.com
I get from 400 to 600 unique visitors each day and about 6,000 page loads.
According to my google adwords campaign i get around 100 people to the site a day from that



Anyways, about a month ago i had the statcounter code ONLY on my index page. It worked great, showed all my hits, where they were coming from, etc. But ever since i put the code on all my pages (my forum included) i only get about 2-3 stats in my "Came From" section. I used to get 3 pages!

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I know i'm getting these hits but they don't show up. I've also tried reinstalling my code on a bunch of pages, i heard sometimes it gets corrupt.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

What's you maximum log size? by placing the counter on all the pages you're now logging more hits from within your site, so external hits (which is what's shown on Came From) will be fewer over the same log size.

Ah.... well i have 100 as my max log size, the free version.

I do have my sites pages blocked, but maybe they still count towards the 100? Sounds like that may be my problem.

You can't block your site's pages or any pages that have your counter for that matter. Once you've installed the counter on a page, if the page is loaded, the counter logs. Every page load counts.

Right. Well inside my project, it allows me to pick what logs i want to see, and i choose not to see any "Came froms" from within my own site. But i guess that just makes them invisible right, there are still really "there"
Make sense?


So to fix my problem - should i do 2 seperate projects? One code for the forum (which gets the most traffic) and one for the main site?

Thanks for all your help!
