Your site stats are deceiving you, yea it will inform you how many hits the site gets daily and which country those hits are originating from. What the stats won't tell ya is how many of those hits actually logged onto the site.
I suggested to you years ago the need to make the site members only, guests don't pay the bills nor do they contribute to the site.
Similar to your
Scrap Room members only format. Every post I've ever made too SMF , under the various alias's used were on the public side.
Time to lock in membership, open up the scrap room. Not that i believe anything important resides behind closed doors.
The more members you have will certainly add income from your associate links.
In the past week no more than six active members participating, while the guest count was in the hundreds.
There are threads on the forum with thousands of views, the question is how many of those were logged in versus guests. With incomplete data how are you able to make rational plans for future development. Be like pissing into the wind.
