Terry Gray reported some interesting data:

asa.calvin.edu had 85,186 hits in the year between 7/1/96 to 6/30/97.
This
is raw hits. I don't know if the 95,000 refers to "raw hits" or if they
record a web page with its accompanying graphics as a single hit."

I am not sure how to equate these (orif they can be equated). An analysis
of the two web sites in terms of activity would be interesting; perhaps a
big job, even by one familiar with web technologies.

"Frankly, I don't think this is so bad for such a modest operation. The
Wiens article on radiometric dating continues to be a very popular
article
getting between 200 and 300 hits per month. I also think that people
like
Eugenie Scott are watching us. I do believe that part of what happened at
NABT is a result of the influence of ASA and the "we" that you refer to."

The activity does seem to be reasonable. Perhaps someone on the LISTSERV
can make a comparison which is meaningful. There are a number of other
YEC web sites, of course. Glenn -- do you know the activity on your web
site? George? Others?
