Logs After the Switch

The Neko · Post by **The Neko** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 10:33 am

Have anybody else's logs been weird since you switched? My visits seem to be the same, but files are around 0, and pages have become miniscule. I wonder if the logs are measuring the redirect instead of the site or something.

Would it have anything to do with using comicgen rather than comicgenesis?

Jackhass · Post by **Jackhass** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 12:45 pm

Hmmmm...yeah, I bet a lot of your readers are still typing in Keenspace to get to your comic. That probably has something to do with it.

Speaking of screwy stats...the stupid Guide has had me stuck down on page 71 for over a week despite getting enough visits to qualify me for page 4 or 5 at least I'd say (based on past experience).

the day after i switched domain (i picked the whole thing: comicgenesis.com) i noticed got a lot less visits than usual, but now everything is back to normal.

The script that tracks stats had stopped running on the 11th, and only got fixed last night. I originally thought it crashed, but it turns out it was turned off for some reason.

The Neko · Post by **The Neko** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 5:34 pm

Well, the stats for me didn't crash on the 11th, all the weird things happened around the 22nd, which was when I switched. If the stats are set to check comicgenesis or keenspace instead of comicgen, would that change anything?

I have the same sort of thing at the moment. About 80 odd unique sites yesterday yet about six pages viewed. Dunno what it means at the moment.

And Jackhass, I've sort of had the same experience as you. Despite retaining current reader numbers and stuff (with the exception of the last few days) for most of July it says I've been up on page 32 instead of my regular 5. Again, dunno what the problem is there either, but I don't think it affects how many people read your stuff.

I see...but my self-esteem rides entirely on how high I'm ranked in the guide! This page 71 nonsense just won't do!

The Neko · Post by **The Neko** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 6:13 pm

Well, to be honest, this stuff and the guide stuff is hardly the most important things right now, since there's that whole "everyone needs to get their sites ready" crap going on. I mostly brought this up so it's out there and can be handled eventually.

Strange - I haven't seen any problems with my stats updating. I did notice the guide was a little funny before, but it seems OK now.

Telecoda · Post by **Telecoda** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:33 am

Stats a low as ever, didn't notice the decline until you guys said.

However I did have trouble logging into my stats at first the I realised it had a new URL

That can mean two things:

1. 3500 people thought "I'll read the whole archive" and only 992 stuck it out.
2. It's suddenly counting images' referrers.

My other host counts images, and onviously they're always referred from your site (or else they don't show up).
