Economics Web Site Activity April-May 2000

Economics Web Site Activity
Late April through May 2000

This period began with a shift of web content to a new and improved server. The format of access logs differs somewhat from previous periods, necessitating the odd breakpoint between this and the previous report. Looking at the previous report also shows a few days of overlap, accounting in part for the somewhat lower visitation rates per day. The first few days of operation, traffic was still being directed toward the previous server. While the switchover was largely trouble-free, it took awhile to get the search engine perfected and certain links revised to accomodate. Nonetheless, the logs show how our new RPA content was well received, check it out if you haven't yet taken the opportunity.

Top Entry Pages

This section identifies the first page viewed when a visitor visits this site. This is most likely your home page but, in some cases, it may also be specific URLs that visitors enter to access a particular page directly. The percentages refer to the total number of visitor sessions that started with a valid Document Type. If the session started on a document with a different type (such as a graphic or sound file), the file is not counted as an Entry Page, and the session is not counted in the total.

Most Active Countries

This section identifies the top locations of the visitors to the site by country. The country of the visitor is determined by the suffix of their domain name. Use this information carefully because this information is based on where the domain name of the visitor is registered, and may not always be an accurate identifier of the actual geographic location of this visitor. For example, while a vast majority of .com domain names are from the United States, there is a small minority of domain names that exist outside of the United States.

Organization Breakdown

This section provides a breakdown by types of organizations (.com, .net, .edu, .org, .mil, and .gov.) This information can only be displayed if reverse DNS lookups have been performed, and the percentages refer to the total of hits for which the organization type can be determined (some IPs cannot be resolved to a domain, and therefore an organization type cannot be determined).
