Webjam has introduced statistics so you can view information about how many people visit and how many times your webjam is viewed. Read on for answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the Statistics (stats) tab and module:

What are Page views?
Page views are the count of the number of times the particular page has been viewed by someone. It is the total count of times you or any of your viewers refresh the page.

What are Visits?
Visits are the count of the number of ‘unique people’ who have viewed your webjam, per session. We count ‘unique people’ by computer connections, and a ‘session’ as a 30 minute slot, which is the Internet standard measure of a session. If, for example, the same computer connection visits your page three times in half an hour, it would count as one visit. If the computer connection visits the page, ends the connection and then returns after an hour – that would count as two visits.

I know for a fact at least 10 people visit my page every day, but on your data I see less.
This may be because all these people are using the same computer or are connecting at the same time from the same Internet connection. For example, if you are all sharing an Internet connection, and are connecting at similar times, the system may count three different people as only one visit.

I have just logged out and logged back in, but I don’t see any change in my daily stats.
The stats are calculated on a periodical basis to stop our servers from getting overloaded so don’t be too surprised if your stats are slightly delayed in their calculation for a day period.

What does ‘Today’ mean?
Today means the last 24 hours from midnight London, UK (GMT) time, where our servers are located.

What does ‘Two days ago' mean? and ‘Three days ago’?
Days data is calculated at midnight each day, so two days ago means the last 48 hours from last midnight, three days means 72 hours etc.

What does ‘This month’ mean?
This month means all the days from midnight on the first of the current month, to last night. This is cumulative data from the first of the month.

How come there are 0 visits on January (2008), but there are page views?
The visits data is only available from February 2008 onwards. The Page view data is correct.

I like the new Stats module, only it would be good if I could set it so that it didn't record my visits, after all I know when I visit, but need to know when others do.

I'd like the stats better if it didn't include my visits and page views. My highest number per day so far is 35 (all of them from me editing different pages).
