1998 August: referers statistics searchengines top 100 hit parade

The new pages bonus, a typical behavior from Infoseek in the year 1998 fades out in this month. Infoseek still remains the top referer, but not so dominant like last month.

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)27146 2 visitors per pixel
