Website Statistics

Monthly usage statistics for Project Runeberg's section of Lysator's website (www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/) for the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and the first eight months of 2003 have been compiled using Brad Barrett's Webalizer program.

If the usage patterns seem irregular and jagged, it might be explained by gaps in our log files when the harddisk was full. When this happens, the webserver continues to function, but access and event logging is lost. The best way to improve this situation is to become a sponsor of Project Runeberg so we can buy new disks more often.

But irregular usage patterns are also largely explained by the fact that accesses from search robots (spiders, crawlers) are included in presented statistics on bytes, hits, and page views. Search robots have the least impact on the number of "sites" or unique IP addresses (unique visitors).

Because of how our website is designed, the URL "img.pike" is used for serving facsimile images. Accesses to this URL are not included in the page view count, because the facsimile images are contained in ordinary HTML pages, but the number of accesses to this URL indicates how many of the page views that were facsimile page views rather than plain HTML page views.
