I have been tracking the "teleport," "map," and "profile" numbers for all of my ads. I now question the validity and/or reliability of these numbers. On one specific ad, I checked these numbers in early January and then at the end of the month. I found it had received a total of 20 tps during that time. When I checked again on Feb 4, that same ad showed an increase of 101 additional tps. This is not accurate. This ad did not bring in 101 new visitors in 4 days. I am reasonably confident this number is incorrect because the visitor counter at my store does NOT show a spike in visitors during this time. In fact, the visitor count overall has been steadily declining for about 1 month now. QUESTION: Does anyone have an idea why the "teleport," "map," and "profile" numbers would spike like this? Are the "teleport," "map," and "profile" numbers reliable? As an aside, these numbers used to reset to 0 when you updated the ad - that is no longer true (an improvement IMO). So I would imagine the SL code specific to these three tracking numbers has been tweaked recently. Perhaps the count only updates every once in a while? arrgg . . . Silly SL! Thanking you in advance!  |

Get a good visitor counter and set it up at your entry point. With all the changes to the new Search All and other bugs, classified counts have become quite useless. That is, if they ever were useful.
On a related note - anyone else notice that parcel traffic counts were stuck for about three days?

those number used to reset to 0,0,0 when you renewed the ad that stopped working more then a few months ago. now all my ad's have huge numbers, 500 tp's 4 profile 3 maps etc and nothing i do resets the stats. they have become rather meaningless.... as long as i get the blue box and ChaChing sound every few minutes im happy

Yes and some people had them stuck at 0 for a while too. |

There's been mention in several forums of tracking the success of your ads by watching how many tp's you've had but I've found the numbers to be worthless. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when or why they go up or down. I just use my visitor tracker. The Sim I'm on and surrounding sims are mostly residential so it's pretty accurate for tracking my TP's.

This is my experience too, I'm also finding the same with traffic. Higher traffic isn't equalling better sales, indeed my best sales for the last fortnight have been in a shop where traffic is lowest. |
