Hi!

Just wondering but what 3rd party counter tracks which thumbnails or movies get downloaded the most? Hell, even finding that info on server logs would be damn hard. That's a TON of logs to keep, a huge amount of data.

Most CMS software packages do this already, so we can turn our log files off and only turn them on when they are needed.

Showing the most popular members video, photo sets, ect doesn't always increase your conversion ratios. If you put the exact same content on your tours and in your members area and let both traffic sources vote you will find your members like different things than your surfers... You will also find most surfers/members like different photo/thumbnails/videos than the owners. Even the members before they joined will vote differently than they did once they can view the content fully.

Showing the most recent updates to a site has been the only statistical changes / advantages I have seen. You can show most popular, hottest girls, anything you want; the ratios will change with the webmasters traffic source.

But the second you start showing recent updates, ratios improve overall..
