These figures were created by the AWStats program offered online by our web host.  We also track usage with Google Analytics. For comparison, visitrichmond.org shared that their site received 3,678 visits in January 2011.

Monthly figures are posted on the Top Twenty page.  Current average is 52,766  user sessions per month.  Web page views are averaging 232,873.  Users sessions decreased 3% after a 16% decrease in June. Page views were level in July after a 7% decrease in June.  Declining viewership is to be expected at this busy, outdoor season and is consistent with our history, but may be a bit higher than previously noted due to increasing usage of Facebook.

2nd Quarter 2011 - Quarterly figures for user sessions decreased 13% from 1st Quarter.  Page views decreased  by 9% in the second quarter following a 1% increase in the first quarter.
