I have heard that it is easy in some cases to manipulate (inflate) the number of viewers. I always use invisible. But it does seem suspicious when an item has been listed for 1/2 hour and has had 200+ hits. What do you think? How do they do this?

My first post. What is "profile signature"?

There are non-Andale counters you can use where you can set the opening amount of bids. For instance, you could set the counter at 510 hits instead of zero. That would be manipulating the counters.
