I have had 8k+ hits in the last 14 days. No customer sign ups.:no:Hits aren't a very good indication of activity, especially on a site with lots of products. As barco57 suggests, this sounds like a spider feast. More useful is information about the number of unique visitors.

On the lack of sign-ups ... I couldn't see any reason to sign up. Your site's name "sell four less" suggested to me that this was somewhere that I could sell items, but this is contradicted by the tagline "your hot buy zone". There's no other explanation as to what your site is about or why I should consider signing-up. And (and this was a bit unlucky) because you have uploaded your products by category so when I arrived I was offered a choice of nine rifle sights on the home page. SO in the absence of any other specific information, I would probably have concluded that you were a gun site and instantly hit the back button! Other visitors will get a different but equally limited view of your product range and unless it happens include something they want, are also likely to just leave.

Re: Just curious

Ok I have changed it up a bit, but still curious as to why google bot stays on the site hours on end. About to pass the 9k mark on hits. You mentioned about unique users how do I locate that number?

Opps not paying attention done past the 9K mark and rapidly coming up on 10K.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to have these bots stay on the site so long. Today alone I have had:

Google <--- Everday about 5-6 hours aday
excite <--- 2 or 3 times a week
Yahoo Slurp <--- 3 or 4 times a week about hour each time
