Log Analysis for January.
Ran weekly and posted on the Members Only page. Monthly user sessions increased 12% from February 2001. Page views decreased by 4%. The decrease hopefully reflects an increase in return users who have already explored WayNet and are returning for specific information. The "user" is our more important number, indicating number of people rather than the number of "hits". The user sessions increased by 26% and the page views by 19% over March of 2000.

1st Quarter 2001 - Quarterly figures for user sessions rose 6% from 4th Quarter '00 levels. 1st Quarter '01 usage increased 50% over 1st Quarter '00.

2000 Yearly Figures show an outstanding 204,689 users requesting 667,511 pages as compared to 100,426 users requesting 310,586 pages in 1999. This is a 101% increase in users and a 111% increase in page views over 1999.
