Scottish-Deerhound.Com went live on the third of March. I've collated some statistics that will be of interest to web masters, admins and general users. In just under one month we have received over 500 visits.

The site has proved popular even in this short time. We have several registered users, although very little in the way of forum activity. I suspect that the forum has to reach a certain critical mass of users/posts before it will really become a valuable resource.

The statistics prove the need for a site like Scottish-Deerhound.Com. So please link to us, post links to your sites here and advertise for free in the directory. You will be reaching a truly global audience.

Here are some of the site statistics for this first month (March 2008).

• We have had 541 visitors, 406 of which were unique.

• 6920 pages have been loaded.

• We have been crawled by over 1500 bots and spiders (that’s how Google and others find out about new websites).

• Visitors by Country, I think this is particularly impressive – it demonstrates the global nature of Deerhound interest.
