Hey Raymond, the links seem to be working OK, you might want to clear your internet cache (google it for your particular computer / browser) and try again..

Hi I have noticed lately that I can’t open all the files posted daily. Example out of the Top 10 Post listed above, I can only open #2, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my computer or the way your files are saved.

Thank in adevance you for you feedback. I missed some of your great topics. Keep the site going and more power.

Congratulations on building a massive readership!

Now with that out of the way, I don’t want to burst your bubble, but you may not realize that reports from traffic analyzers showing 1,000,000 unique visitors very likely doesn’t equate to 1,000,000 unique people.

If I browse DPS from Firefox, then browse it from Safari, the traffic analyzers will show 2 visitors not 1. If I browse DPS at home, then browse it again with my iPhone on the way to work, traffic analyzers will show 2 visitors, not 1.

If I disable cookies on my browser, popular traffic analyzers will show a unique visitor for every page view I make.

Conversely, there are some proxies that provide access to “the rest of the world” for countries that censor internet availability. Its possible to have thousands of people from censored areas have their traffic routed through such a proxy, and hits on DPS might show that 1 unique visitor made 200,000 page views.

But, I’m sure you do have a broad readership, but be wary of how you interpret the results.

Congratulations Darren, I become a real fan of you more than any Hollywood star and I wish to meet you in personal at least once in my lifetime. Every morning when I open my email inbox the first email I read is your daily letter about such great techniques. I learned a lot from your site and feel proud when people say I take good pictures. Entire credit goes to you..
