1997 September: new submit to search engines strategy

After the slow development of pege.org in May 1997, we submited in August all pages to the major search engines. This was the top month of the manual designed version of pege.org

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. This does not count repeated visitors from bockmarks and visitors typing direct the URL (from newspaper or so)8671 2 visitors per pixel
