The one and only month in the 20th century, where the search engine Excite was under our top 3 referers. Excite remains later also important, but never again achieved nearly 8%.

Total referers found in referer log files from all our own domains, and design and seminar customers hosted on our server. This only counts visitors coming from a link or a search engine.
