BOS wins ANOTHER award :) (3 Viewers)

[tactic]

i think it would be 1 uniquie hit, and about 4-5page views

to be honest i dont know what hitwise measures!

 

[iambored]

oh ok, yeah i was wondering as i have no idea

 

[Calculon]

The best way would be for everyone who has cable to download Opera and set it on auto refresh on the BOS main page and leave it like that for a couple of days

you should just set your homepages to us

hmmm we had over 300 on the first day of the hsc last year, didn't we?

i dunno... most cable ppl have static ips

Hitwise is a pretty big company, it would be pretty hard to extort the system.

the only way i see is to do it manually

Does it only measure the front page or any page in the site.

Cause I normally skip that and go straight to the forum address.

 

[iambored]

yeah i go straight to the forum as well.

The other top "Education - Reference" winners include such websites as www.austlii.edu.au (#2), www.nla.gov.au (#3), www.library.usyd.edu.au (#10), etc.

not if they are already going to uni in the city and their library didn't have the books they wanted. and also, the general public of syd would access that website
