The main problem here is that the website is constantly crawled by all kinds of public, private, university projects, etc. search engines that would make this kind of counters rather useless. The number of hits on a page is not directly related to the level of interest it might draw. Deciding who's human online and who's not is a complex task. These are the "official" bots and the number of hits this month alone: Yandex bot 141,535 Unknown robot (identified by 'bot*') 123,709 Unknown robot (identified by 'robot') 82,027 MJ12bot 50,012 bingbot 40,442 yeti 38,766 Unknown robot (identified by 'crawl') 28,116 Googlebot 10,919 CFNetwork 7,499 Bing Preview bot 3,389
I only have wishlists to express direct "human" interest today. Julien

All of those are hopefully real people and real views. Sadly, the bot counts is done by an external script (AWStats) and it only matches the bots based on the signature string they provide honestly, it would be easy to pretend you're any version of Chrome instead to obfuscate your purpose. And the parsing script is unaware of LDDb session, only parsing Apache 2 logs. At some point I put an anonymous log on the search box to try to improve the results but it only shows a lot of typos and trial and error spelling, not really useful information. Of course whenever someone famous passes away, the number of searches increases. But I can't know which title is selected after that. If you want my best guess, the most checked LDs will be the usual The Matrix, Star Wars in all shapes and forms, some Star Trek, some DTS, Alien(s), Terminator 2, Disney, etc. Anonymous (non official bot, but can't tell if human or not) top 10 hits this month from the Apache 2 logs are: - Fantasia (1940) [1132 AS]
- Cartoon Classics: Here's Donald/Here's Goofy [396 AS]
- Cartoon Classics: Donald: Limited Gold Edition (Uncut) [SF068-1086]
- Arena (1989) [NALA-10011]
- Star Wars Trilogy: Definitive Collection [0693-84]
- Alien (1979) [8760-85]
- Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) [PILF-2830]
- Adventures of Chip 'n' Dale, The (1959) [D61-506]
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Special Edition (1991) (Uncut) [PSE82997-6WS]
- Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck Cartoon Collections: vol.2 [70 AS]
I have no idea how realistic that list really is. Julien
