Guys this doesn't really make sense to me. I uploaded 3 videos, 3 images and 3 songs. It hasn't been a day and I have 6485 views??

What does this mean? Are they real views because I just embedded the analytics code. Anybody experiencing the same?

In GA shows you traffic? If yes, then it's ok.

I'm not sure what's going on, he's not the only one, something must conflict somewhere, but it happens only a few installs, and for now we have no data on what the issue might be.

Can you post your box's config? All php environment and modules?

[j9uddin]

My guess would be either something to do with the player or the importer? I can understand the video getting the views, but the music?? Noway 2000 in a day. 2000 people haven't even heard the song lol.

@alexander I dont really know what to send to you here. Everything is pretty much still a fresh install?

This all happened when I fully watched the 2 videos and played the song. After that I got all the views, so my guess is the player or something along those lines..

Note: this might be quite bad for advertising if you are using third party cpm ads because it could be classed as click fraud or botted clicks? Hope we can fix this.

I have two sites one is doing the same thing the other isn't also the one that is is running 5 times slower than the other. the site with the issue is an upgrade the other site that's running fine is a clean install, so my guest is something got messed up on the upgrade? the two sites are on the same server.

Yes that fixed my issue it was the database. now getting one click per view and the site is the same speed as the other.

I would not worry about cpm, you don't make bad visits, it just counts bad.

I need the error logs from server.

What was the database issue you had to fix?

[grantj21]

Was getting 6000 to 16000 hits on videos just after they where submitted which isn't right, the site was running slow 20 to 60 second to load a page database importer taking a long time to run. My view counter was showing 3.500,000 I haven't even open the site the the public.

But as I said used a copy of my other database and the site is flying, and I can report still no view errors..
I have copy if you want it for testing I think the issue was in activity but I'm not a 100% on that?

[j9uddin]

I just optimized my database in phpmyadmin and now everything is fine.

Good choice to do a db check and an optimize from time to time, an broken table can make any script work unexpectedly or not at all.
