    866 hits on the threads thanks the vbSpiderFriend archive "hack" I got from one of the guys at www.vbulletin.org.

    BTW, the search I used to get the above URL was:

    allinurl:www.zerogain.com

    ...which is an undocumented Google command to get you all the hits it has for a particular site/url. That only brings up 2 results but then click on "repeat the search with the omitted results included." to get the full list.

    It also helps if all those that have a Google toolbar installed were to click on the smiley face occasionally

    Cheers MO - checked it out but the Google toolbar doesn't work with Firebird (only IE) so I can't use it :rolleyes:

    Just been looking at the stats for the forum and 15 out of the top 20 referring URLs are from the various incarnations of Google around the world :eek: Wow! It really is bringing in the punters :)

    Between them google.com and google.co.uk make up 42% of all referring sites. The other googles add another 15% so that makes 57% of all referrers coming from Google. The next best engine is search.yahoo.com with 8%.

    Michael.

    ...and we hit the max number of users yesterday aswell:

    Most users ever online was 52 on 17th November 2003 at 13:37

    Which beats the previous record of 48 that only happened because of some weird hack/DoS attack (that didn't succeed).

    Btw Dos attacks rearly get up forums renking, this would most likely be a stats or site archive system maby an alternative search engine getting the data.

    plus if it was a good DoS attack it would be in the thousands.

    Google bar

    I seem to remember this having some kind of spyware involved in it. Anyone else know?

    There is a type of spyware in the advanced options but Google are up front about it and allow you to turn it off.
