I just noticed the staggering number of visitors to Mark’s thread RECORDS OF THE MEN OF LOCHBROOM 1914 - 1918.
4, 297 visits have been made to it. Of course by posting the link here It’s probably going to increase further!
Anne Park’s Aberdeen City Roll of Honour threads have a massive number of visits too but that is perhaps because there are so many entries in them so I don’t know if we can compare them like for like.
Are there any others with so many visits?
I wonder why Lochbroom is so popular?

Mmmm! that is quite incredible. I wonder if folk are drawn to the 'Rolls of Honour' heading initially - and the fact that it is in book form ?
More food for thought about presentation of research! |

Is that 4, 297 visits this month?
If so, it would be interesting to know the number for the next most visited page. It does seem odd that this particular page is so popular when the majority of visitors are likely to arrive from outwith the Forum. _________________ Jim

If you go to this page
http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewforum.php?f=143
And look at the fourth column, it shows the total views for each topic. I take it is since the topic was started.
Given the numbers I take it most views will have been from non-members. My suspicion is that a link to the thread has been posted somewhere else on another forum or website and that is what has boosted this topic's numbers.
Unfortunately without going through every single section there isn't a way of finding the next most popular.
Cheers

From what you say it will be from day one, a year ago. I had initially thought the figure was taken from the logs.

From logs I know the most popular page on my own site is
http://www.kinnethmont.co.uk/1914-1918_files/xmas-truce.htm
with 3167 visits during December. It is the most visited page all year round. _________________ Jim

I suspect that placing a relatively rare document in the public domain on the Lochboom thread has left it wide open to copying but all and sundry.
Hence the number of views.
Or am I just a cynic
My old and defunct website on Stobs Camp (which AOL killed off) had a Bravenet visitor counter on it with the added bonus of allowing me to see where the visiting traffic had been referred from. Very interesting it was. _________________

My guess it that there is so many pages people view the first couple of pages then come out of it and go back in again a day or two later and so on,
