Most webstats drop hits coming from the same IP address within a given time frame in their visitor counts. As long as it's clear what we're looking at, it's fine. and people need to just ignore the spammers. The stats are stats and will be pointless is all information is not listed IMO. This thing about not listing them is being a childish thing If no people are interested in the filtered stats, how many are interested in the stats which have spammers? I mean, if in doubt, let's vote on this. |

and for me like this group has become. You're part of this group, I mean, you can ignore such requests. It's up to Roy (IMO) to decide what to do with it. Since Roy seems to agree with removing spammers from the stats, I see no problem with it. Maybe it should have been done via email, but nowadays with all the spam filtering and other shit in place, that might be too much trouble. |
|
This group is by far been going down hill and still is, good grief if it wasn't for the spammers there would be nothing posted almost. You're old enough to know that quality and quantity are different things. This group doesn't die if nobody posts anything for a year here except spam. Moreover, I've the feeling that the bickering between regulars scares more people away than spam (which one can filter mostly out). That, and sometimes how regulars treat newbies. |
|
And further more when has the last decent discussion about search engine strategies been posted anyway? I recently posted on my very positive experience with Yahoo. To many (including me) it was already known that description has some effect. But I had never expected to move from #13 to #7 in a few weeks. I am doing now a broader experiment, and will report back on that as soon as I have noticed a serious effect. Or if not, expect it around my birthday (15th of February). |
|
Boy if there were stats for that. LOL! You could keep them ;-) |

Paul said something last month and this month. Seeing the stats in true form as I explain can see how bad the spammers really are. |
|
it. Maybe it should have been done via email, but nowadays with all the spam filtering and other shit in place, that might be too much trouble. Well my junk mail doesn't remove all of it. |
|
last month also, which is why I brought it up that it seemed as Paul was the only one concerned.:-) |
|
Of course I am, that is why this group is going downhill. The quality is really piss poor. The group will be here yes I agree. |
|
The bickering will be always here. |
|
Even the newbies are treated as spammers. I have seen it. You were on hiatis when this happened. It was like if you weren't a regular and couldn't do anything pow right in the kisser. I don't have the time to find them, you will have to take my word on it. |
|
Cool, I will be interested. I had done some tests like this also. I even placed keywords that weren't on my page and noticed a difference. I will say Yahoo is really different and looks at the whole site for the SERPs. Maybe I will get into more detail once you post your findings. :-) |
|
Boy if there were stats for that. LOL! You could keep them ;-) Phew John, I have too many sites and acquiring too many clients ATM. |
|
At one point I was turning away clients. I turned away at least 10 people in December for website design. I have taken on 3 this week for designs, and 2 for SEO. Then I still have my own sites and updating them. |
|
Here are what 2 are looking like still in design mode with Adobe for graphics: http://jezsta.com/fragrant-forever.htm http://jezsta.com/thegamesource1.htm |
|
As you can see I am just too busy to take stats.:-) Actually, I would much rather use most of my time for my work as there is money in it.:-) |

Seeing the stats in true form as I explain can see how bad the spammers really are. Personally I don't care.

Just trying to avoid replying to each and every Usenet post :-) Of course I am, that is why this group is going downhill. The quality is really piss poor. The group will be here yes I agree. Well, spam doesn't help with that, nor does bickering over the stats. I just guess there is not much news on the SEO front, no major changes, no huge drops, etc. The bickering will be always here. Heh, no doubt about that. I am afraid a lot of people would leave Usenet otherwise. Even the newbies are treated as spammers. I have seen it. You were on hiatis when this happened. It was like if you weren't a regular and couldn't do anything pow right in the kisser. I don't have the time to find them, you will have to take my word on it. Yup, no problem believing you on that, I've seen newbies being treated as dirt before, and indeed as spammers. But with all the spam going on, people do get more trigger happy. |

[ Yahoo -> adding description ] Cool, I will be interested. I had done some tests like this also. I even placed keywords that weren't on my page and noticed a difference. |
|
I will say Yahoo is really different and looks at the whole site for the SERPs. Maybe I will get into more detail once you post your findings. :-) OK, I am very curious ;-) Since my traffic dropped a bit (I was close to getting a steady 17+k visitors/day, then dropped to 13+k, now back to 14 +k) I am looking for ways to improve things here and there. It's the first time I am a bit worried about my site (or: was) :-D. |
|
Boy if there were stats for that. LOL! You could keep them ;-) Phew John, I have too many sites and acquiring too many clients ATM. Yeah, hence the big wink. At one point I was turning away clients. I turned away at least 10 people in December for website design. I have taken on 3 this week for designs, and 2 for SEO. Then I still have my own sites and updating them. That sounds good. I've discovered that instead of turning people away, raising the rates is better. |
|
You make more money, and you get less people who want too much (and then some more) for too little money. |

I think myself that people who would perhaps otherwise have developed into useful members of the group have left after a couple of brief outings because whatever they say Paul jumps down their throat. As I've said before, Paul's in pain a lot, I think he takes it out on the noobs in here. It's regrettable. |

I noticed the other day that I'm not actually in the Yahoo directory. I used to be for something or other as a freebie but I'm not in there at all now. So I guess I have to finally pay up! :-( |
