I reposted this from WWII honoree's blog :) (Her page is at http://ww7.yuwie.com/WWII_HONOREE/).  I think she got it from Nicole (sorry don't have the link)

Thanks so much to both of you!

You are wondering why you are not getting many page views?

Here's something that I figured over the last few days:

* To have a counting page view, the advertisement on your site needs to be loaded

* after it is loaded, the guest needs to stay on your site at least 3-5 seconds

* Many of you out there have beautiful pages, but it takes forever for the ad to get loaded

* so, if someone really does click your page and doesn't go the cheating way - if the page takes long to load, it's more likely that your guest just scrolls down to the "Leave comments" part and disappears soon after dropping the comment

* You also need to leave a time frame between loading new pages - if you open them in various tabs all at once, not everyone of them gets counted.

TIP:

Check your site - look at it like someone coming for the first time.

Check the loading time of page AND advertisement.

Check how good people can find your important pages (blog, comments)

Check if they can easily click the "Add friends, Favs, etc." buttons (MANY of you have screwed up pages where you gotta move around with your mouse to maybe find the right button)

If you find anything on my page that's screwed up, please let me know :)

Good luck everyone - Have fun :)!!
