p2pnet story views
p2pnet.net OT news:- “I’m not an admirer [of] your site and I have not ever been one and this is to ask you why you have suddenly started pumping up the numbers of visitors and why you expect to get away with it,” says an email which arrived this morning.
“It is so obvious it is embarrassing — for you not for me.”
It’s always nice to be appreciated ;p
Anyway, I’ve been half expecting something along these lines and I’m glad to see even my detractors are paying attention : )
The explanation is quite simple, and nothing nefarious is involved.
A little while ago p2pnet started showing the total number of views at the foot of each story. I took them as read, so to speak, but I often wondered why some stories I knew were being hit a lot were apparently receiving so few visitors.
This was the case with Tanya Andersen’s story, so I asked Bob, who’s running the technical end, if he had any thoughts and, “When it pulls the cache page, it doesn’t log the hit,” he explained. “So I just disabled the caching feature.”
Now visitor numbers are being properly reported.
Cheers! And thanks …
Jon

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

I too enjoy your site. Most of it I’m interested in that you cover. Once in a while it seems a slow news day and you get a hit and miss on that from me as far as interest goes.
Of course we all know that there are others that view this site, not so much for the readership but for monitoring what you report and how it hits public in reaction. Copyright supporters seem to be very where in the background. You rarely get them to come out of the leech mode and actually say something. They just lurk in the background and poke around.
There was one such admission when it appeared this site might go under. I noticed another that seems to have sort of dropped out of the interest of antagonistic posting. I won’t say it was the party suing you but it had all the earmarks of it if it wasn’t.
Much of the doings and goings on of the copyright forces would not be as well known were it not for sites such as yours. Public media is all but owned lock, stock, and barrel and only self-serving news is put out for public consumption. The rest is buried without ever seeing the light of day as far as news goes. We would in essence be totally blind to the actions of these PACs, attempts at law changing, and totally inappropriate lawsuits without sites such as yours spreading the word.
Personally, I can’t wait for the day that the public is so repelled by these corporation goons that it refuses to do business with them. They are well on their way to that end with their methods of self-protection. We see the inequalities of it every day when Tanya gets sued but the Bush kids are never looked at. That speaks for itself as to what is really important and just how it is used as a club with the public but not to those that are in the power circle. Another favorite of mine is the kids of a “well known” RIAA powermonger has their hands slapped, it’s self-admitted, but yet not a peep from the same hand that wants to take advantage of college kids, grandmothers, and other carefully chosen targets. It says just why it is repulsive, arrogant, and a public relations disaster for the labels.

“I’m not an admirer [of] your site and I have not ever been one and this is to LET YOU KNOW THAT I VERY REGULARLY VISIT AND THROUGHLY READ YOUR SITE WHICH I DO NOT AND HAVE NEVER ADMIRED…”

Same, anyone with a grain of clue would of realized this site has more views than what was originally shown in the view counts. Some people are just idiots.

I reset my Apache logs on 14 June of this year. Since then, I have gotten 190 hit on the Spammer Slapper web page. My referals from these pages show more page views than was previously reported. There is no shenanigans going on with Jon’s reporting. Everything looks kosher. cyberscan

I like your site. The problems you describe with DRM are the same problems I’ve experienced. Thanks for telling it like it is.
“”I’m not an admirer [of] your site and I have not ever been one…”
Why come here? With the billions of pages out there they come to a site they don’t like.
