I would really like this question 100% answered once and for all forever. Do you get dwell (traffic) when you are on your own non-group land?
Let me give an example. I am on my own land for 2 hours during a 24 hour period and go nowhere else except to pop over to see a neighbor on her land for 6 minutes. Then I sign off. Does my neighbor get all of the 2 hours and 6 minutes or does she just get 6 minutes worth and do I get any of it? This has been bugging me forever and a definitive answer would be appreciated as I have heard many different opinions. Thanks.  _____________________

taken from sl wiki
Every user gets a set number of traffic points to give out during the 24 hours between midnight and midnight. Any parcel of land that the user spends more than 5 sequential minutes on gets counted as a place that they spent time. (seperate) Parcels owned by the resident (or group) are counted as if they were the same parcel. The user's points are then evenly divided between those parcels. So, if I was online for 1 hour and spent 20 minutes on resident A's parcel and 40 minutes on resident B's parcel, resident A would get 33% of my points and resident B would get 66%. Alternately, if I only spent 5 minutes online and spent all of it on resident A's land, she would receive all of my points. Those raw point totals are what is reported in the find window. To get from those to L$, we normalize the total against the total amount of L$ we are giving away that day (all L$ paid from traffic is taken from a shared "pot"  and give out the money proportionately. If the owner is an individual, they just get the L$. If it is a group, then the L$ are split between the group members.according to this, you would get the 2 hours worth on your land, and your neighbor would only get the 5 minutes. your points would be divided between the two, in proportion to the amount of time spent on each. i could be wrong, but that's how i interpreted the wiki info.  _____________________
