Many of the views on forums like this and others come from
internet robots that scan posts for various search engines.

A large proportion of "views" therefore, are automated and not
real people. These "views" do have the potential for bringing in new real people however, so they are useful for that. This takes time however.

Sometimes a forum becomes "slow"... as members no longer have a need to discuss things and do move on. You can click on a member name and see the last time they were logged into NT for an idea of frequency. However, anyone can read these forums and not be logged on. Replying does require an ID and logging in obviously.

One hint I learned here, was to make the titles of your posts "Google friendly"...that way, people who keyword in their problem will find us more quickly.

So for example-- "A big problem" would not bring in the same number of human views as "Problem with Keppra side effects" would.
So that a detailed title is more Google friendly.

These are just hints, for you Porkette to think about.
