Statistics on the Homepage

Virtual Library on Microcredit
The Numbers

Visitors	The website had seen 101,891 visitors between Sunday, June 9, 1996 and Tuesday, 3 November 1998. This is a counter that was activated every time the main homepage was loaded. Therefore it denotes actual visitors, and not 'hits' (where every file, including images, are counted). The counter did not include, however, visits through links made directly to a page within the site, bypassing the main homepage. Currently, the Virtual Library averages more than 60 percent of the 2,000 or more visitors who come to the GDRC website every day. See 'What's New' page for latest web access statistics
Membership	More than 852 members from 52 countries now receive Updates on new items added in the homepage, and other information. This is sent via email every month.
Updating	The Homepage is updated almost everyday, or every other day. This constitutes about 15-20 hours a week on updating, adding, editing and cleaning the files.
Links	There were more than 769 links to external internet resources in the homepage. The total number of files within the homepage, as of Sunday 2 June 2002, was 2,110 in 67 folders. The total size of all files in the homepage was 34.1 mb.
