TotallyOz Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 In a separate thread on BoyzBoyzBoyz, a poster suggested that 11,000 views for that thread seem high. Anyone can see the most view threads from the main area of this forum by clicking on Most Viewed. There are several in the high 20,000 range. This is the result of google. I remember many years ago, I wrote a thread about Ping Pong Pussy in Pattaya and I logged into the site and saw a ton of people reading that months old thread. I thought that was very odd so I did a search for Ping Pong Pussy and this site was at the top of that and all these people came from Google to here to read the thread. I doubt we are still high up in that keyword listing but it happens often with this site as the search engines know it is a credible site with consistent reliable information. I am always most fascinated to see where things rank and who views what. Quote
Guest Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I imagine the people doing the Ping Pong P*ssy search would not find what they're looking for here and might therefore depart swiftly. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Anyone can see the most view threads from the main area of this forum by clicking on Most Viewed. How do we get to "Most Viewed"? Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks. The small white lettering reversed out of the background colour is so difficult to to see I had never noticed this before! Quote
Rogie Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 To me, a more interesting statistic is the number of replies a thread has. Looking in the Gay Thailand forum, one of the current topics, the Champagne Christmas Quiz 2012 (started by Fountainhall), is currently in joint sixth position with 110 replies. In the Beer Bar, the thread with the most replies is Today's Quiz (started by Kokopelli) - this had 96. Quote
kokopelli Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Perhaps it was LMTU running up the tally? But likely because myself and others were continually going back to that topic to refresh our memories of the image and question that were posted and we were searching . Quote
Rogie Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Perhaps it was LMTU running up the tally? It is commonly rumoured such 'activities' occur in the dead of night. But likely because myself and others were continually going back to that topic to refresh our memories of the image and question that were posted and we were searching . Number of views is pretty meaningless IMO. Yes, indeed, a quiz is likely to crank up the views for the reason Koko mentions. Maybe a better yardstick is views plus replies. Quantity + quality = likely an interesting topic that appeals to readers and perhaps prompts them to join in the discussion Quote
