Please define what the "views" column tells me.

Davecarl,
Views is what infopop calculates to charge us for this site. In the past month, we have had an average of over 5000 page views per day and our daily average is approaching 7000 page views. Our current subscription ($1000/month) to Infopop allows us up to 500,000 page views per month.
Based on my experimentation (in the middle of the night when I am sometimes the only one looking at the topics), I believe that the view counter is activated every time a person views a delivered page during one login session. For example, I find that I do not get 20 views if I go back to the same topic 20 times during a single session. However, if I quit the browser (which logs off) and then go to the site again (which logs me on), it will count as a second view.
Thus, the number of views give a rough indication of viewer interest in any given topic.
Wise.
