Think if 1 million rso decided not to register one year that we have enough cells to hold them all? what a crises that would be! oh yes and figures they either got them right or they got them wrong or they have no idea how to mislead the public anymore!

The age-old question. 11 million "hits" means what? 11 million visits by real people? Page views? Searches? I bet half the hits are search engine spiders. Probably another fairly large portion by script-kiddie scans for open ports. With 3.5 million people in Connecticut every man woman and child of every age would have to visit the site three times in a year. I find that to be highly unlikely. With 1.5 million households and 73% of those having a computer in them you're talking every single household accessing the site once a month. I find that unlikely as well.

Anytime I hear the terminology "hits" I'm skeptical. By 1998 most people knowledgable about website traffic realized "hits" were a misleading and useless statistic. A hit is a request for a file. A web page can consist of many files - one for the main file, one for each image, and other types of files like JavaScript code, CSS files, etc. Since a web page could consist of a single file or dozens of files, viewing a web page could equate to a single hit or dozens of hits, making it meaningless. To complicate matters, some people incorrectly refer to page views or visits as hits. In the case of this registry, I suspect "hits" really are "hits". There's a slight chance that the 11 million refers to page views, but that's doubtful based on the population of the state and other reliable statistics I have for other states' registry sites.

And to put it in perspective, my state's online registry currently averages 3-4 thousand visits per day, based on statistics it reports (it actually incorrectly refers to the statistic it reports as visitors). And Virginia has more than double the population of Connecticut.

here in Indiana, we have yet to reach a million unique visitors to the website. still about 650,000 which has been a significant increase in just he last 3 months as we have actually had 70,000 new visitors in 90 days which is the most the registry has had in that period since its inception Forum Home | Top of Thread | Jump To Parent (171224) In order to post a message to a new thread or reply to existing messages you must be logged in.

And to put it in perspective Likewise. My company website has had 1407 "hits" since January 1. There have been 133 visits by 115 unique visitors and 268 page views. A further 1684 hits and 392 page views not included in the above are identified as known spiders and bots. So I guess I could say I had 3091 hits in two weeks and let people believe I get 220 people a day looking at it. Or I could tell them the real story, ie 115 people looked at it, or barely 8 per day. What bothers me is that if my little penny-ante website will give me this type of detailed information, I KNOW a website run by the State can. Now if the state has IT employees who don't know the difference between a page hit and a unique visitor I can't help them there. But I imagine the person does know the difference. The conspiracy theorist in me says the state purposely uses the hits count because it skews the numbers drastically higher to make it look like the website is actually used. 11 million looks a lot better than 440,000 Forum Home | Top of Thread | Jump To Parent (171224) Thread171136, admin, Jan 14, 2006 12:38 AM [Introduction] 171137, admin, Jan 14, 2006 05:42 AM 171151, poetsdreamscape, Jan 14, 2006 07:04 AM [why bother] 171210, orolan, Jan 14, 2006 07:54 PM 171223, steve, Jan 14, 2006 10:36 PM 171224, steve, Jan 14, 2006 10:44 PM 171260, 1dadof5, Jan 15, 2006 05:27 AM 171315, orolan, Jan 15, 2006 08:31 PM Forum Home | Top of Thread
