How to cuont page views - turn ads off

[DrewJensen]

Hi,

I manage a nabble powered site for which I would like to pay and have the ads turned off.

Question -
when looking at how many page views (credits) needed do i count all page views or only the page views that currently display an ad. In other words the site is very hierarchical and if I understand the way page views are reported in the Nabble UI each level is a different count - do these group page views also count against credits.

so - the main site is here http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/ and if I estimate overall views (1 year) I get something around 300,000 pages - but if I just estimate page views, where an ad would be displayed, it is on the order of 140,000

 (sorry this isn't the clearest explanation I'm afraid)  just wanting to be able to tell the guys on the project that xx dollars will turn off ads for xx amount of time and have some reasonable certainty...

Thanks for any help here.

Hi Drew, Let me try to explain how this works. Each view to the topic page (where ads are currently being displayed) and also to the app page (app front page and topics view, if present) decreases 1 credit from the total. All other pages (e.g., user profile pages, account settings, etc.) don't affect the number of views/credits.

I just added 300 credits to your app so that you can see how it works. This should last a few days and you will be able to get a good estimate of how many credits you will need per day. The system changes the number of credits once a day. So you should keep an eye on that number (you can see the number in Options > Remove ads) and take notes of the changes.

thanks for the 300 credits  and the explanation.

Looks like we blew through the 300 credits in (less then) the first 24 hours...that's all I needed to know.

Best wishes,
