For some reason, this is something I pay attention to as a an indicator of how recognised someone is/how much curiosity they cause in people. Posts per day (ppd) are also taken into account (lower ppd means higher page views/post, since every post sticks around longer to be seen). Most users have a ratio of about 1/2 to 1, with just a few between 1-1.5. Cognisant is the only other member I could find with a ratio larger than 2 (about 2.5). He has an average ppd of 1.2.

Today, I looked at mine for the first time in a while, and it is about 9.5 (2891/314).... And my ppd is 2.62 which is just above average (new members post more). What does this make me? Am I being targeted by automatic web programs?
EDIT:is it all my epic avatars?

I visit the profile of stupid people more. I figure I might find something else stupid about them to laugh at.

I also think that women probably get a disproportionate amount of page visits compared to men, on account of them having boobs.

Just as random info, words' ratio is about 3.5
but more seriously:
Your determination is oddly stupid.
what's that supposed to mean?

Shouldn't be a criteria to see how "cool" the member is.

My wording was carefully chosen, and I didn't say it was a criterion, implying that it needs to be fulfilled, just an indicator, implying that it points in a certain direction alongside other indicators. Happy now?

The recorders are Melkor and Adymus with over 20k views each.
Thanks, that gives them a ratio of 4 and 9.5 respectively. Yay for not being unique..!!

Indicator and criteria... Isn't it the same thing? They both influence you decision.

No.

For some reason, I'm not really surprised. (Despite their lack of boobage.)

No.

Criterion: a standard of judgment or criticism; a rule or principle for evaluating or testing something.

Indicator: a person or thing that indicates (to be a sign of; to direct attention to)

Therefore, while an indicator can be wrong (in the sense i am using) about the state of the thing it is indicating, a criterion is infallible and absolute.

That's why I don't say "ooh look, he has a ratio of 1.3, people must be really curious about him". I take it as an indicator, not a criterion.

Taking this one step further, I could use the position of my chair as an indicator for the weather tomorrow. This isn't gonna give me accurate data, but it may turn out that the position i leave my chair in depends on my mood which slightly depends on what i expect the weather to be like tomorrow.

In short, you are rephrasing what I said to make it sound less absolute, more free; you still are using it to make an opinion.

Of course I am, that is plainly obvious. I am saying that it is also justifiable to use this ratio as an indicator.

NICE... Is there a method of easily finding the page views (be it as a mod or not) or do you just search around?

It's from memory.

You also have Auburn 9,360/1,382
and Mrmolen 1,296/0 :D it's because he's a beast in the forum arcade.

Melkor is sexy, that's why. He makes people question their sexuality.

I noticed I got way more page visits since I started using myself in my profile picture/avatar (not that I did so for that purpose of course) people are interested in seeing what the person posting actually looks like. Either that or I just got more prolific in my posting, not sure which.

my current avatar is a bit hipster-ish but I like it :D

These are numerical misleads that do not deserve your attention methinks. I have 10k views and 3.5(?) ratio because I post tons of visitor messages. There are several other factors to consider too.

Of course it is far from great, in general it works though, and it is also interesting to actually see the relationship.
