    Can you make a bigger pic? Even after clicking on the thumbnail, the enlarged one is hard to read.

    I'm far from an expert, but could it be "bots" hitting the site?

    If you have a look here -
    Australian Land Rover Owners - Who's Online
    - you can see who is online including bots.

    Gives you an idea of the ratio of users, guests, bots.

    Cheers

    the second two stats dont include any search engine related hits, they are supposedly weeded out ...

    the first includes all in the bandwidth figures going in and out....

    OK - and in plain language this means ?????

    I assume something like the site is now so popular that it is getting overloaded.

    Do you want us to stop recoomending it too people? Maybe we should stop Google having access.

    Just a few thoughts

    Just having a quick sqizz at the Who's online page and there were at least two Google spiders and a large number of guests that could also be bots.

    It seems to me that 11 seconds per site visit seems a little short (understatement intended) considering how long it takes for me to decipher some peoples' posts - not mentioning any names So leads me to suspect that you are getting pinged by Google et al fairly frequently, probably because of Joe Public's vague search criteria.

    The unique visitors thing isn't that much of an issue. I would think that bots will be uniquely named so they don't cause integrity conflicts with home base. A larger issue is the volume of data number of requests you are putting out at peak times and whether your server can handle them. Obviously the data rate will be limited by your server's bus speed and the size of your pipe the number of requests has other limitations (cpu speed, RAM volume, disk R/W speeds, etc.). So if your current h/w is having problems with matching peak loads can you load balance with another server?

    Damn it, try again

    Wish I could edit my post to make sound sensible: hint, hint, hint

    Anyway, last paragraph should read:

    The unique visitors thing isn't that much of an issue. Bots are uniquely named/identified so they don't cause integrity conflicts with home base. A larger issue is the volume of data number and requests you are putting out at peak times and whether your server can handle them. Obviously the data rate will be limited by your server's bus speed and the size of your pipe but whether it can handle the number of requests is another issue and introduces other limitations (cpu speed, RAM volume, disk R/W speeds, etc.). So if your current h/w is having problems with matching peak loads can you load balance with another server or can you proxy large data files such as library images?
