2001 October: Altavista now below 5%

With the paid submission program, Altavista seems to commit harakiri. Only very few unpaid submissions made it in the last year into the Altavista database.

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)62997 2 visitors per pixel
