Okay, suppose a site has two pages, interesting.htm l and boring.html.
The visit counter for interesting.htm l says it has had 1000 visits.
The visit counter for boring.html says it has had 10 visits. We can
say with confidence that interesing.html has almost certainly had more
'actual visits' than boring.html, and the author may decide to devote
his attention to interesting.htm l.

We cannot say that will complete confidence. If during a brief period 10
thousand students from a university visit interesting.htm l, it's
entirely possible that they get counted once on the counter, especially
if the site has been designed competently. I recommend that you take a
look at the pages on cacheing that Alan Flavell points out in his
contribution to this thread.

You are not excused. We can easily check what the HTML specification
requires. Whether lack of a required attribute has anything to do with
the observed problem is quite a different question. Do you have any
evidence of that?

Let me guess... you're trolling?

Could you consider stopping the babbling and giving some hard evidence,
or at least facts like URLs?

Unless you post the "before" and "after" URLs so that the situation can
be verified, I would say that you have mistaken.

Oh, so you were not trolling, just trying to make people stop reading
your messages. Thank you for making your point so clearly. So never mind
the URLs - you wouldn't have given the right URLs anyway.

Great, Thank you!
