To simplify the stats gathering a IP counts as one person, there is no tracking of visitors across several IPs. When a IP arrives on the site it creates a visit. For returning visitors at least two hours must pass since the IP's last visit showed activity for it to count as a new visit. Otherwise the old visit will be extended.
Excluded visits in the statistics are those that did not begin on the day in question but are spanning over midnight from a previous day. These are not counted in the stats for that day, instead that visit will contribute stats to the day on which it began. It is therefore possible for yesterday-stats to be updated even after the day has ended. If two hours never passes between two page views by the same IP the visit could go on forever, omitting stats on newer days. A max visit duration of 18 hours has therefore been set, so extended visits can span across two days at most.
The "unique visitors"-number are the number of IPs that has touched swfchan that day, no matter if its visit began on the previous day. It's therefore possible for the unique visitor count to be higher than the visits count, especially around midnight since at that time many visits are spanning across two days. When checking which IPs that are returning the IP must have been on swfchan at least one day before yesterday, this to avoid determing a IP as returning even if it has had just one visit but that one visit spanned over midnight.
Data is gathered in three ways: JavaScript, Image and Direct. If JavaScript is turned off the stats gathering of that visitor is very limited, basically only page views, which country the IP belongs to and whether or not frames are supported can be collected from him via images (plus of course gets if he does that). Luckily enough people has JavaScript enabled to make it not matter too much. Direct stats are the only truly reliable stats on this page because it is reported directly by the code that runs when someone presses GET FILE and can't be blocked. This means that only the number of gets are accurate, the rest is to be taken with a grain of salt.
Page views are to be taken with a extra big grain of salt, by design it has been implemented to only give a so-so idea of the number of pages the visitor has viewed. It is designed to reduce stress of the main server by reporting page views in batches by visitors that browse many pages, there's always a risk that a batch is left unreported if the visitor leaves before it reaches the set threshold. In reality the page views are probably a little higher than the number written on this page, but the number on this page is still a good indication of site activity.
IPs are looked up in a database to determine which country they belong to, it should be fairly accurate. The database is updated every now and then to reflect changes in the world.
The differance between "unknown JS status" and "indeterminable JS status" is that with unknown no stats have been gathered via JS and image while with indeterminable some data was gathered via JS but strangely enough no page views was reported.
The "corrected stats" is the percentage of the day's visits that had its page views fixed to logically match the visit's number of gets or other reported stat. For example if a visit has blocked both JavaScript and Images but gets two flash files his page views on .com will be corrected to the minimum four that is required to get two flash files. Similary, if a visit happens on an outdated cached page of swfchan (on someone elses server or locally in the user's browser) it's possible that certain stats reported are accepted while the page view reports are rejected (implemented such a check to make it harder for the page view stats to get corrupted). However even if the visit's self-reported page views are rejected the visit must still have some kind of page count attached to it, so it's corrected with a +1 "pagefix".
For a get to be "via both embed and dl-link" someone has pressed GET FILE twice for the same flash, once with the embed option and once with the download link option (those two presses however counts as just one get, a IP can make a new get for the same flash after six hours has passed since it last got the flash).
Remember that for visits with a long duration it doesn't necessarily mean that a person was surfing the site constantly the whole time (though it COULD be true). If he took a break from the site and came back before two hours had passed it would still count as the same visit as before and many seconds are appended to the visit duration even though he didn't surf constantly during that time.
The "visits blocking ads, but not all" percentage could be read as "visits not seen ads on all domains, but an ad was loaded on at least one domain". It's not certain such a visit is blocking ads at all, maybe the ad just didn't load or something else happened that prevented the ad-loading event from being recorded.
The number of "IPs made a visit this day" are the IPs that has created at least one new visit on the day in question. It excludes IPs seen that began their visit before midnight. IPs visited are pretty much always lower than IPs seen since the seen count also includes IPs that are on a visit that began the previous day.
Only the following three major search engines are recognized as such: Bing, Google and Yahoo. Visits arriving from other search engines counts as "arriving via other sites".
Download speeds are measured from embed-gets. Speeds presented are averages, if someone downloads over 100 KiB/s sometimes but mostly at 90 KiB/s he will average to below 100 KiB/s even though there are faster spikes. The higher tiers does not include the lower ones (for example the percentage in <100 KiB/s excludes those <50 KiB/s). A "insta-get" is when a flash loads in below two seconds, there isn't enough time to calculate an accurate average download speed. The "maybe too slow" group are gets that haven't downloaded 33% of the flash file and thus have not reported in any download speed to swfchan.

Numbers below show the grand total gets on eye.swfchan.com (gets of flashes on .org are not tracked). These are direct stats gathered from "GET FILE"-presses and are thus to be considered reliable (in contrast with many stats above this paragraph that aren't 100% accurate). Note that swfchan has been online since 5may2008, however the number of daily gets presented below were not recorded until 24may2012 (the stats above this paragraph were not recorded until 1may2013). Projections are optimistic and just extrapolates the current average (doesn't take into account fluctuations in traffic during certain hours).
