I could, but eventually the database would become HUGE with visits of people
that visited once and never came back, the advantage of client variables is
that they time out by them selves without me needing to code any maintenance
tasks.
At the moment I am just setting a "client.sitename_hitcount" variable and
using that instead of the "client.hitcount" one, that seems to solve the
problem.
