Traffic count is zero

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with their land traffic count?

All my properties show zero traffic (0). I find this odd as I have spent the better part of everyday working on my builds and I also have a parcel with a low volume camping device that up until today has shown 2000-3000 counts per day, and I know people have been on that parcel 24/7.

I did a random check on some of my favorite Sims and they are showing traffic, accurate or not, I don’t know.

Is this specific to the Gyala sim or are other seeing this too?

I hope I am not truly and utterly alone…………well, actually I hope I am, it’s a fate I wish on no one (almost).


Note – Gyala is a single owner mainland sim - cache cleared and rechecked traffic before posting.

It's happening to me and you and other SIMs. I'm lucky to get almost normal sales today but if I didn't have a classified ad up I'm sure it would be much less as my store shows up on page 100 something for clothing, lol.

Hoping its fixed when they are updated again. It would if they would add the traffic together that was missed but oh well.

Many people ignore traffic anyway, it's more important how good the place is and how many real people are there , rather than the number of campers and ""****"'s or "AAAAAAA"s in the name.
"Whoo Hoo I have 10,000 traffic from people telporting in, taking one look at my campingbots then teleporting out."

I never look at traffic.

I make a point of avoiding, or leaving as soon as I see, anywhere that has camping pads, dance poles or any other 'fake traffic builder'. I know I'm not alone either, so for many people these methods of increasing traffic can actually be more damaging than anything.

The sooner traffic goes away completely, the better. I know it was being worked on (as mentioned at the last town hall).

I don't use any form of camping, but my 300-800 daily traffic does at least get the listing higher on the list for people to find. With 0 traffic yesterday on the listings, I only had one repeat buyer. If nobody had traffic, then at least it would be equal, but at the moment it appears a smaller percentage aren't getting figures and hence sales being effected :(

I submitted a support ticket regarding this. I got quick response and was told there was no problem and that my trafic would update after 24 hours. Seeing as I'd left it over 24 hours before submiting a ticket in the first place (and told them so in my original communication) I sent another one telling them they were talking out of their arse (although worded more politeley) and to investigate the issue. Im not confident.

Actually I this is happening to me, 0 traffic and sales are down 50 percent since yesterday. This isn't the first time either. It's happened to me 3 times now (in a year) and each time sales fall down at least 50 percent. I would say half my traffic is from classified ads and half from search. Many do ignore traffic but many do still use it. I can also tell from where people teleport in because the classified ads are more directed to what the ad is showing. That's either the skin section or the hair section and the regular teleport is nearer to the front of the store.
