What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: traffic, stats

Write your message below:

My web site traffic stats are really messed up from hundreds of page view to my guestbook. Since November 1, it's showing that 416 times /signers/guestbook.php was an entry and 415 times it was an exit. This is really annoying and throws off my statistics.

What can be done about this?

Nothing really unless you can find and ban the offending IPs from the server before they can reach your website and gbook.

Or you could place gbook on a subdomain and it's stats wouldn't be included in the main domain stats.

BTW: consider upgrading to 1.43
