Guests on the Vine

I know this has been explained before, but I couldn't find it.
How come there are X number of members but hundreds of guests? Who are they and why don't they log on as proper members?

DDL, members are people who have registered and Logged in. Members can make posts. Guests could be anyone with access to the Internet, this is a public forum, but they can only look and not post.

HTH.

Maybu they don't want to register....google a phrase and if its on here you will be directed here.

You dont have to log in even if you are a member to read the posts, only if you want to post you have to be a member. I dont always log in I just spy on you all lol

[dexterdoglancashire]

Ah! I see. I think more people should log in as members and have the full benefits of being part of a super "bunch" of grapes! Come on guests - log in as full members!

'Guests' includes every time the Vine comes up as a result on a search engine. Even if the link isn't clicked on, the search itself still counts as a Guest

I've several times googled a question & it's directed me straight back to my query on here!
So if I'm logged in & on another tab googling,do I count twice???

4 times, as there's 2 of you.

the numbers sound like rabbits having babies! It would certainly count for the high numbers of guests.

What is the point of showing the numbers of guests?

Crikes...and I'm a Gemini too so that's loads of us...it's all my fault!!!

To track the traffic....as the main reason for this forum is to attract people to the mag website and thus buy the mag/subscribe to the mag or buy products from the linkies above.....

I think...."the more the merrier" as far as the longevity of the vine is concerned!

I would think a lot of members were guests first time, having found the Vine via a search. That is how I got here (ash keys, and I actually managed to pickle some this year).
