I have noticed that there are 90 plus consistantly on the site. what is the record numer? RR

Just over 200 is the record that I have seen, but Marta figured out it was robots indexing the site for search engines.

Our Online Now numbers increased in July after our media mentions (US News & World Report). Then they went down in August - that month is always slow for us - and now are back up.

Here are the average number of visitors per day to slowtalk for the last year. This does not include visitors to slowtrav.com (that is 20,000 - 30,000 per day):

You can see that June was our peak in the last 12 months. Maybe because of the email I sent out for our Anniversary party?

This reminds me that I have not updated our stats page recently. I am updating it now and will post in the Announcements forum.
