SN Traffic is a tool to count the parcel-traffic number of today and compare it to yesterday and the average over the week. When clicked by the owner it gives a message in chat, as the example shown below.
You need some sort of aid because SL won't show you the traffic number of today before the day is over. That is the gap SL Traffic fills. This helps you knowing if you should do more to gather traffic today or you are nicely on track.
**** Traffic Report ****
UP TO 09:00:
(Measured traffic. For today, 10 minutes are predicted.)
Today : 3843 ( Yesterday: 4080 Week AVG :4887 )
TOTAL END OF THE DAY:
(SL traffic number equivalent. Measured traffic plus a prediction for the unfinished part of today.)
Today prediction: 11079 ( Yesterday: 11878 Week AVG: 12192 )
* * * * * *
In the example above you see it is almost 9.00 am, SLT, thus a big chunk of the day is still ahead. Traffic is a bit below normal and also a bit below yesterday. Perhaps it is time for an event?
The traffic number is roughly : The total number of minutes an avatar spent on the parcel. Thus, someone being there an hour, counts as 60.
