Alsoshop users Wrote:Explorer    Explorer  2055 55.08%
Firefox    Firefox  638 17.10%
AOL    AOL  605 16.22%

The low percentage of Firefox users and very high percentage of AOL users could explain a few things about ASs (said the Firefox user and Linux snob) 

FYI- 41.3% of TT visitors use Firefox, 12.6% use Mac or Linux operating systems (ASs is 2.7%)

Something else that the high AOL visits show is that the site may very well be using the AOL proxies to boost the traffic numbers.

Pretty scary that a hacker can get SO MUCH INFO about the visitors of a site, on the forum junkie site admins and owners don't even see it here yet.

Other interesting points...
Alsoshop gets almost as many hits from Really Smart Deals traffic exchange as it does from Google. 
AQ, with all the SEO perfection Ray did on it when it was his, gets more traffic from RSD than Live and Yahoo.  ;D

And in case anyone was wondering, I get the same exact stats from Godaddy for all my domains, and it is password protected and free. 

Just more reasons to stay far, far away from "alternatives" to eBay.

A hacker or competitors.  If you're running a business the information in your log files is one of your most valuable assets/tools and you don't want to give your competitors open access to it (which is one reason I would never "Quantify" my stores).

Really Smart Deals and a dozen other traffic exchanges.  If you want the world to know you're a completely clueless amateur when it comes to site promotion, join a bunch of traffic exchanges like Mo and the Poppers have done. :
