I've been playing with some log analysis tools lately and I'm liking what I see. On paper we had 1.4 million hits in December 2010! One tool I used calculated about 400,000 were from search engine crawlers, bots, and other "tools".
When I look at the historical trend over six months, CBoats receives somewhere between 1 and 1.4 million hits a month - or 800,000 to 1,000,000 once you remove the "tools".
Thanks for helping to make this such a popular site. Obviously we couldn't do it without you guys!
