how are pageviews calculated exactly? is it 1 pageview per visitor, or if one visitor looks through all 30 pages of your comic is that 30? does it count when you view your own comic? i'm just wondering how much stock to put in the daily pageview count. since i'm not on the main page except for updates, and i know i'm not too many people's fav (thanks DD Alerter! ..hrm..), i'm often surprised by how many views i seem to have. thanks to anyone who may know and answer.

It's based on how many pages are viewed, not by unique visitor... say I visit your site and sit there constantly skipping between the first and lastest comic 100 time,s then it will read as 100 page views. It also only 'clicks over' every ten view - so if I did that 105 times, it would read as 100, but if I did it 112 times, it would read as 110.

To go along with pageviews would it be difficult to implement two changes:
a) page views - views by author/site maintainer (ie: page views not counting the times I view my own page)
b) unique visits/views by page.

Also, those are some good suggestions Totallyilladvised - you should post them in the 'suggstions for the Duck forum' (if you haven't already)
