According to Proz's, more than 300. According to my own counter, around 100. Can anyone explain the difference? TIA.
| | | | | Your own counter? | Nov 5, 2008 |
I did not even realize there was a personal counter :*) I will definitely check it out.
I suggested the poll because I find that, the more active I am on proz.com, the more visitors I seem to get. Do you, fellow members, have the same experience?
Obviously, the reason for being on proz.com is, amongst others, to attract as many potential customers as possible. The visitors' count should be a good indication of whether your profile is interesting enough to them or not. ...

| Don't know about 'every month' | Nov 5, 2008 |
Is there a way to find out this information (visitors every month)? I can see the counter for the last 30 days (under the 'Visitors' tab), which says 167, but I don't know about previous months as I don't usually monitor the Visitors tab.

| indeed "last 30 days", not every month | Nov 5, 2008 |
Indeed, I should have said "last 30 days". Although it would be great if there could be a way to track/register it per month. Hopefully someone at the proz.com is reading in on this.

Yes, there is...if you wish. Proz sets a default counter per user, but I put another counter. Proz counter detects more hits thatn my counter.

Yes, I see the same relationship between Proz activity and visits.

True, since I participate in Proz I receive more job offers.
Best regards, Bea.

| Visits from bots | Nov 5, 2008 |
My Proz counter says that my profile has received 1988 visits in the last month, from a total of 487 visitors.
I have no idea if that is a typical month or not, it seems like quite a lot, but a lot of those are probably bots or web crawlers.
I do notice that a lot of visitors come to my page via Kudoz or through the forums, so I think that being more active on the site results in more hits.

| 785 visits - 372 visitors | Nov 5, 2008 |
Proz com says that there were 785 visits from 372 visitors.
I think this feature should be provided as a tool in the site.
There is feature in KudoZ which shows leaders, the same application can be used here too.
Also everyone can see the current visitors but there is no record that shows past visitor traffics monthly (or yearly)
Just an idea, and I think it would be useful for developing our profiles.

| Proz activity = more visits | Nov 5, 2008 |
It seems sensible that the more active you are on Proz, the more visits your profile receives, although I don't know how realistically this in turn can be interpreted as generating more direct business.
When I see someone new posting in the forums or answering my Kudoz questions, I generally go and have a peek at their profile. I tend to do so also if I'm impressed or intrigued by a comment made.
I've rarely gone looking for people through the directories, but I certain... See more It seems sensible that the more active you are on Proz, the more visits your profile receives, although I don't know how realistically this in turn can be interpreted as generating more direct business.

I've rarely gone looking for people through the directories, but I certainly have been impressed by a few colleagues after looking up their profiles following a forum post or Kudoz help.

For a long time, it was around 200 visitors. It then surged above 300/month a while ago, probably because I have been participating much more in the forums.

Of course this function is only for paying proz members as opposed to users.
When I was a paying member I found that almost 100% of the visits were in response to Kudoz activity. Which is good as it means that askers (or agree-ers) are checking the credentials of the answerer.

Not in my case. I became a member so that I could ask more kudoz queries than the non-member limit and get the occasional discount on software etc., nothing to do with attracting more clients. In fact, in the past year I have only had work from 1 new client through proz ...
Nor did I have any idea that there was a "visit counter", I must have a look for it sometime...

I can't see the number of visits, just the number of visitors or can I? Anyway, I don't think the number of visits is relevant. I have more than 100 from a single visitor so I suspect it is Google indexing my pages.
I doubt that my site activity is boosting the visits because almost all my visitors are not logged in.

| | | | | It's different each month | Nov 5, 2008 |
But definetely, the more active you are here helping others (KudoZ, forums, poll discussions) the more visits your profile page gets.
