Hi Dan, Just one question about aliasing: why users count is not updated for the new gadgets?
I aliased two my gadgets: http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=gglets.gfarry.com%2Fgf-portfolio.xml http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=gglets.gfarry.com%2Fgf-weather-monitor.xml I had ~15Kusers for 1st gadget and ~3K for 2nd before migration. It's already more then a week since they were migrated but the About pages show < 100 users for each. Google Analytics shows about 40K pageviews for 1st and ~10K for the 2nd daily. I'm aware of the next issue: http://code.google.com/p/igoogle-legacy/issues/detail?id=309 And I understand it can be difficult to merge comments/rating from 2 gadgets into one. But how is the user count calculated? Does it only count Add/remove user clicks? Why it can't count gadget references in user profiles? You have a script to update gadget references during aliasing. It should not be a big change to add counting of the references and update user count for the new gadget. It's hard to attract new users when user count shows <100 users.
