That can't be good! That is the top 5 entry pages 1 month after I added my forum. 4 of the top 5 are coming into my webpage into forum pages that give them very little info!

What should I do?
An advice greatly apreciated!

Thanks

It's a non-event - as a forum grows, you'll get a lot of hits like this (and note, none of those URLs are of any surprise to me).

Re: This can't be good! too many people getting into my forum

I know it was a while ago since I posted this, but I'd still like to hear what other people do. Would it be a bad idea to redirect those addresses to my main page or main forum page, because some of the things actually come up blank pages with error messages like the extern.php one.

Just curious for input, thanks.

No, your webstats just strip off the topic id etc. No-one is actually visiting viewtopic.php directly.
