Counter History

When I look at my counter history both numbers are the same. I have not yet tried to attract any prospective clients but the numbers look something like this.

10-10
2-2
23-23
5-5
12-12

When I look at my site at the beginning of the dayand return to the history I get a figure like this.

1-3

when the numbers are exactly the same could that be spy bots?

"spy bots"?

How does someone "spy" on your site, when everything on your site is freely available information?

I meant spiders or robots.

The questions still remains.

What is going on when both figures are the same each day?

What is going on when both figures are the same each day?
It means each visitor only came to one page on your site, and didn't click to anywhere else.

The tutorial says

The database actually contains all the days of the year, unless you delete them manually ...

The display on the Admin Home page will be for the last 10 days ... it will roll over by itself as the site is used ...

My question: Is there anywhere in the Admin to see beyond 10 days ago?

To see beyond 10 days, its a simple change to the php.

In the file admin/index.php, change this line (on/ near line 148) to limit a higher number than 10. Just change the 10 to whatever you want. Change nothing else.

$counter_query = "select startdate, counter, session_counter from " . TABLE_COUNTER_HISTORY . " order by startdate DESC limit 10";
  $counter = $db->Execute($counter_query);

The box heading will automatically be accurate: "Counter history for last xx recorded days."

Backup first; backpedal as necessary.
