Are thread views on forums always related to real traffic?
For example, right now on this forum it says 3131 members and 26434 guests are online. I'm going to assume that the majority of those guests are bots or something, but when I compare page views on most threads in this site an average thread will have 10-20 views per post.
In another forum that I'm a member there is significantly less activity but an average thread will have usually 100-200 views per post. Do you think that most of those views are from bots or perhaps just lots of lurkers reading every single thread?
