Traffic to our web site fluctuates significantly through the year. In past years, traffic data gradually increased during the first four
months of the year, reaching a peak in late April. It then started to decline.
We call this the "summer slump" and attribute it to students
finishing their academic year, and people generally leaving their computers and
enjoying the holiday period. In past years, traffic starts to rise again in
mid-August. Finally, numbers take a nosedive in mid-December.
We are speculating that 2008-JUL and AUG traffic appears to have been
affected negatively by the Olympics and by the U.S. presidential campaigns.
* Numbers in bold are the maximum values during the year. 
Notes:
In the above table:
 | Date: This is the date at the end of the 28 day interval measured. |
 | Total hits: The numbers of files downloaded from our site by visitors during the 28 days. These included text
files, background files, button files, etc. These data are not particularly significant because they are influenced by the web design. They are
often emphasized by webmasters, because they are the largest common measurement of web site traffic. |
 | % Increase: The percentage increase over the corresponding 28 day period in the previous year, for the preceding column. |
 | Number of page views: The total number of times that pages were viewed by visitors during the preceding 28 days. This includes our home page,
menus and essays. |
 | Number of distinct visitors: The number of unique visitors who
accessed our web site during the preceding 28 days. |
 | To estimate the monthly data, multiply the total hits, page views or distinct
visitors by 1.09. |
