Anyway I can restrict the hits?

Post by Dutch! »

Okay...that may sound a bit silly in the subject line. I do want the number of hits my site receives restricted if possible, no it is not a mistake.

The last site our comic was based on did not count hits that came from my personal machine, so I could update and fiddle with the pages all I liked and it wouldn't affect the numbers.

Currently my site (still new) has about 2000 hits to its credit, but I think probably 1800 are from me ftping stuff to it and checking if it works and refreshing until I see the new page changes and so forth.

Oh...and me just flicking through admiring my handiwork.

Anyway it can be restricted so it doesn't count my hits? Or is there another way I should be reading them?

Hope that made sense...I just read through it and tried to correct it...I hope I made it clearer...

Maybe not.

Get a bit of patience, and wait 5 minutes before you refresh to see if it worked?
Do a local copy of your site? (will let you read to admire, won't help with the troubleshooting though)


Or just forget about the whole thing. The more readers the less difference it makes.

"1.Scan in high res 2.tweak with curves,levels or something to clean up the scan (or use channel mixer to remove blue pencil lines) 3.Add colour using a layer set to multiply. 4.Add wordbubbles and text as vector shapes. 5. Merge all layers. 6.resize to the web size. 7. Export/Save for Web" that's all I know about webcomicking.

Hits are pretty meaningless statistics anyway. Very few people actually understand what they are and those who do realize they're not a good way of checking traffic. Pages, visits, sites, and KB are the four stats you should be keeping an eye on.

Thanks...but...

...those four will tell me what, exactly?

I mean...you can look at them to count what?

If I sound dumb, just go with me on this one :)

In a related question, how do we get statistics at all about our site? Do we have to set something up or is there a section in the admin I'm missing?
