I installed a counter (from
Sparklit) on my Herbert Marcuse homepage on March 27, 2001. Every now and then, when I update the page, I note the number of hits it had registered. Less frequently I also checke the information Sparklit collects about how many of those hits were unique. I add the data at the bottom of the homepage, but gradually it got to be a little much. So now I'm only keeping the annual averages, with breakdowns for shorter periods during the current year. |
