I’ve just seen the stats for July and for the first time ever over 10 million different people used MoneySavingExpert.com in a month. Staggering!

The actual stats according to our internal Google analytics software are as follow:

Although banned they keep the user stats up.:D

    Not sure if you realise or not, but they only class as one visitor, per PC they use.

    Not sure you realise this but it is a joke.

    Should I have put more :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D on.

    Do you really think they would even dent such stats........ Oh hang on I remember who I am posting too.:p

    (but your last bit is wrong as it depends on IP adress unless you have static IP's that can vary every time you log on to the net.)

    Indeed they have been busy. All were barred for good reasons.

    In order to preserve the integrity of the discussion here, I have made the following suggestion on the Feedback board:

    How odd. Nollag suggested a very similar thing on Site Feedback only a little while back. Funny that isn't it? It's almost like you're twins :rotfl:
    So where's the integrity in that?

    It's also nothing to do with IPs.

    Anything else?

    How do you think they identify you when you log on?

    You cant even begin to think users are unique because of their cookie history?

    If you erase your cookies you are a new user.

    But don't let that distract from the joke.

    I can't? Are you telling me I can't begin to think, because you are telling me not to? Or are you suggesting that's so stupid I couldn't think it up?

    Seems you are getting frustrated, would like like a cookie?

    You sticking with IP's? Final answer?

    How are they logging it, You said it was not IP, I suggested is it cookies, and a cookie was even less reliable.

    What are you trying to disprove, state what you think they use rather than saying I am wrong and not saying why?

    AFIK they would have little other options other than tracking IP's or cookies to see who users are.
    MAC adresses are only visable to ISP's.
