Ip Address ?

at the top of my visitor page there is this:
You are currently ignoring visits from IP address: 66.177.60.19 (click here to change)
Your current IP address is: 73.53.214.157

OK - they are comcast IP's - and comcast switches them around apparently at random - This may not be a problem for me - but it sure toys with the stats when I look at one of my images - my thought is that the first IP was when I first joined up.

Yeah, if you have a dynamic IP address it changes every time you go online. But I'm pretty sure the IP address ignore thing only kicks in if you're logged out. If you visit your images while logged in your visits to your own pictures don't get counted. So always be logged in and your stats won't reflect your visits and the IP address becomes irrelevant.

it so your views aren't affected if you look at your own images. comcast changes it every now and then. just update it and you'll be fine.

Roy, the stats don't mean much...include your visits.

I used to ignore visits from myself, but I don't bother now - at least it makes a change from bots :-(

What Marlene said - the only stat that means anything is sales - and I won't go there.

My most visited images last week were two paintings that nobody real has looked at in years....but several bots got "hiccupped" in the faa stats and each bot showed about 50 hits, same time, same date.
The bots block your ability to see the real visits, rendering them useless to me....I have to send my visitors elsewhere to look so that seller/buyer can communicate efficiently.
