Webalizer:
A program documents the number and time of visitation to the ZooLex website.
The following table shows the visitation of the ZooLex website from
September 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999.

The number of sites refers to individual persons visiting
ZooLex. The
number of 584 total visitors probably includes repeat visitors. On the
other hand, webalizer only recognizes proxy servers, thus missing visitors
using the same proxy. Since the website was not changed during its evaluation,
I do not assume many repeat visitors. I therefore estimate that at least
500 different individuals visited the ZooLex website.
Hits are the common count for analyzing visitation of a website. This
number is relevant for banner advertising. The number of hits refers to
the number of times a user hits a button to see a different page. It relates
to the hits of buttons made on a website, but does not give an exact
count of anything referable. To some extent, hits reflect the time
that people spend on a website. Thus, they help to compare interest levels
between different websites.
Highest daily usage was on October 7 and 8 with 39 and 51 visitors,
following the AZA conference and on November 15 and 16 (Monday and Tuesday)
with 37 and 14 visitors respectively, following my reminder emails of November
12 (Friday).
Visitors to ZooLex came from the countries listed below by the end of
January 2000. The Webalizer may not have recognized additional countries,
as many addresses could not be resolved to country names.
