Have you ever...

Have you ever pressed the "refresh" button on your site to make the toll that shows how many people looked at your site higher?

That shouldn't have any affect on it. The site counter remembers what IP address you are coming from, and only registers the hit once (or maybe once within a time period like an hour or a day, not sure).

That guy would want his counter to inflate...

Yeah, it depends on how you set up your counter... I can tell my counter to count every single hit no matter what, but I have it set up to register hits from unique IPs. This only works if you have cookies enabled too, if you disable cookies, I think it will count every time. It's never really accurate anyway, but just a 'guideline'. Mine doesn't show an exact number any more, so it's hard to see if it's doing now anyway. (Well, I can see an exact number I guess if I check the counting site, but I never really bother...

Yeah if the cookies are off the counter will register every hit. One of the first thing your learn to do in javascript is a counter. No cookies, no IP adress.
