I may be off base here, but I have noticed the number of reads a news article receives (on the home page) has dropped dramatically since I installed Google Tap. Don't get me wrong here, the site has been indexed by Google and several other search engines on a continual basis, and the rankings are good. Google Tap does work and is doing what it is supposed to.

I am just wondering if the articles are being indexed by the search engines and not being counted into the number of reads, or if before I installed Google Tap, each time the article was indexed by a search engine it was counted as one of the Reads.

If the count should be each time the Article is indexed, maybe their should be a modification to the code which counts each time the article is indexed in html instead of php?

Does this make sense to anyone?

It doesnt matter php or html when the page is clicked a hit is recorded.

Hmmmm.....I wonder why the drop in page reads on the news articles then. The numbers went from several hundred to in the teens and twenties on the newer articles, and the overall site hits has went up on a daily basis, not down.

Wierd... icon_question.gif icon_question.gif
