Although I don't have stats for the full year given that it was started only in July, this is what I do have for a little over five months online: Period: 20 July - 31 December 2007 <blockquote>Visitors: 6,442 Absolute Unique Visitors: 3,775 Page views 14,853</blockquote> In terms of where accesses came from, 46.71 percent came from referring sites, 45.73 percent came from search engines, and 7.56 percent was direct traffic. Readers in the U.S. constituted the majority at 2,735 with Armenia second at 1,576. The rest was split between 94 other countries and territories. Statcounter.com reports 6,623 unique visitors and 11,522 page views for the same period which only goes to show how statistics can vary from service to service even without the necessary analysis of what the figures actually mean. Anyway, not very promising it has to be said, although that might indicate a lack of interest in the presidential election. For example, comparing my statistics with other sites dealing solely with the February vote, this seems to be a common pattern. For example, according to <a href="http://www.circle.am/" rel="nofollow">circle.am</a>, the number of visitors in the past month for a few solely election-related sites is as follows. <blockquote> Internews E-Channel: 1,789 Armenia Election Monitor 2008: 1,394 Mediamax Election Site: 487</blockquote> Hopefully, this will change for all of us when the pre-election campaign gets underway in a few weeks. However, when compared to funded online election sites, the Armenia Election Monitor 2008 can be seen to be doing very well indeed. Well, relatively, anyway. This is especially the case as E-Channel and the Mediamax site are available in multiple languages whereas the Armenia Election Monitor 2008 blog is available only in English. However, I think a lot of the reason for this can be attributed to search engine requests. BTW: Regarding my other blog, the Armenia Election Monitor 2008, the statistics are obviously much lower.
