Hi All. I've noticed lately as mentioned by others as well that it has gone quite quiet on SWMGF forum lately, and while I flutter between this forum and my other forum I noticed tonight that there was 33 users are online (in the past 15 minutes) I know this is a very close nit family type of forum, ie South Wales mainly, and I was just wondering how many visitors a national MG/TF forum gets ? as I'm not a member of any other MG/TF forum I would be interested in knowing numbers, anyone know the figures. Guvs.

Because this site requires a registration to view the forums, all Staff Members and Members should (will) have user id's attached, as shown in the visitor stats. As a consequence, we have long held the belief (but never proved it) that the visitor numbers are created by the bots, crawlers and spiders trawling the web at any moment in time. Search engines in particular use spidering techniques to provide up-to-date data. Web crawlers are mainly used to create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by a search engine that will index the downloaded pages to provide fast searches. Crawlers can also be used for automating maintenance tasks on a Web site, such as checking links or validating HTML code.
