I mentioned in another post that the website traffic for www.freeminds.org has tripled since February 1999. I am sure this is the same for many of you with sites on JWs. Discussion boards like this get very much more traffic due to their nature, but mine is not a discussion board.
Many of the newcomers are Jehovah's Witnesses. The following is a smaller version of my stats for October 2001, with three areas that might be of interest to those who have their own web pages. This is just for the one site, not the other 3 I have.
1) the numbers of people coming from which countries
2) what pages they are looking at the most
3) where they are clicking from/search engines, your websites
Might be helpful or just plain interesting!
