52k guests online?

Advertise on BHW
61k as of now. I don't think all of these are bots. Many people read the forums without signing up. I did it too for years before signing up. I could be wrong though. Staff would know better.

Yes, I understand your thoughts, but I have never seen such a sudden spike before. I request that the MOD check this unusual behavior.
 
How are these many getting through BHW's cloudfare protection? I get hit with cloudfare verification every time I log in.
 
The member to guest ratio is crazy lol.

But yeah I'd have to say it's mostly bots.

Maybe there's a way to filter bots out for the counter.

The point is that these are around 30 more times guests than i've ever seen
 
I don't think there bots, the fact there viewing different posts makes it seem organic. If someone want's to boost his thread views, the person behind it would only send bots to his specific thread, which is not the case. Also it's the end of the year the traffic influx will skyrocket.

Just noticed this:

Total: 52,801 (members: 325, guests: 52,476)

What's happening here? Nothing abnormal with the number of members, but all of the sudden the site gets 52k guests when it usually has around 3k?

Yeah, I’ve noticed this too. Many BHW members are selling their accounts in Facebook groups lately some are already Jr VIP, and some just completed the 100-post count and are selling their accounts. With groups having 20k–100k members, this could definitely be one reason why guest numbers are increasing instead of actual member growth.
 
This can't be bothered alone
Maybe a good move in the serps

I just checked, and for those who don't know, the guest list includes real people and robot visits. Furthermore, the list can be filtered in the online member list by guests and by robots; there you can see the user activity. The robots from Google, Amazon, Bing, etc., are constantly crawling the forum pages, which makes the forum rank threads and posts extremely quickly, and that's a good thing.
 
They are probably Google and facebook and all those paltfroms employees spying on spaming methods here to block them LOL.

This is something that happened out of the blue. It's not a gradual increase.

I also find it funny how these people think these accounts are so valuable, but they really arren't. Most Jr Vip don't seem to make that much money at all.

The point is that it used to be around 2-3k guests and out of the blue it increased to 60k. There must be an explanation for this. Especially because these guests aren't translating to members or to posts.
 
There is a google update rolling out these days even if not advertised, some sites tank some other go stronger
