Re: Question About The Blog Voting

So, blogs are rated by the number of page views I would have thought it would make more sense if They were ranked by the number of posts folks have made in them Or at least by Unique Page Views.

Yahoo has a definition for us:

Page views refers to the number of times visitors to your site have looked at your pages. Every time a visitor loads one of your pages, a page view is counted.

Unique page views is a subset of your total page views, so this number will tend to be lower than your total page views. This statistic represents the number of individual visitors who have reviewed your pages: Each visitor to your site is counted only once, no matter how many pages he opens. Site Statistics uses cookies to distinguish between total page views and unique page views. (Note: To receive unique page views statistics for a page, you must first place a counter on your page and enable the use of cookies during the counter setup. Learn how.)

Site Statistics allows you to review both the total page views and unique page views for each page in your site and can help you clarify who is visiting your site and how often
