Yet another stellar month for RePEc. Traffic went up once again to new records: 380,488 file downloads and 2,222,213 abstract views. Details are at http://logec.hhs.se/.
Excellent numbers and good to see the growth, but this many abstract views seems like a lot. If there are 40,000 active econoists (~25,000 AEA members, but certainly doesn't cover all economists) this comes to 55 views per economist, which still seems high for a month. I see something like 3.5M page views in RFE per year, which seems high too. Any idea what % is "real" and what is spurious? - Bill -- *------------------------------------------------------* | Bill Goffe goffe@oswego.edu | | Department of Economics voice: (315) 312-3444 | | SUNY Oswego fax: (315) 312-5444 | | 416 Mahar Hall <wuecon.wustl.edu/~goffe> | | Oswego, NY 13126 | *--------*------------------------------------------------------*-----------* | "While Microsoft doesn't provide specific numbers, its Hotmail service | | is proclaimed to be the `world's largest provider of free Web-based | | E-mail.'
