    I noticed that I have a lot of unique visits, that is not possible. I'm wondering if it's due to the way my website is set up?

    On my website, all my image links & CSS files address is absolute address, (ie: href="http://www.sphinxmedia.com/img/logo.png"), instead of (href="img/logo.png")



    PS. last week I had 577 Unique Visits, which is highly unlikely.

    basically requests made from unique ip addresses.

    So, that shouldn't have anything to do with how I set up my site? So, I had 577 different people went to my site? How could that happened? ...weird

    Easy. After a thread like this, you're bound to get some hits. Indiegamer.com is a highly populated forum.

    Wow. I only had 10 to 20 unique visits per week before that thread.
