The Chart below shows the number of alumni registered for each of the forty-four Class Years represented. 

 

 

 

The following Charts show the same data by decades. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As part of the registration survey, alumni indicate how frequently they believe they will use the site. 

 

 

 

 

During the first year there were over 25,000 “hits,” or visits to the site Home Page.  The numeric counter for these “hits” can be seen at the bottom of the main page of the site.  Every time the page is opened the counter registers a visit.  Visits to other pages on the site are not measured by this counter. 

 

There is another, more comprehensive, counter system that monitors site visitors and a wide range of other performance measures.  This system is provided to us free of charge in return for the advertisements you see at the very bottom of most pages. 

 

One of the measures they provide is a count of “Unique Visitors.”  This measures the number of different computers that visit the site during each 24 hour period.  It does not register an increase in  count for additional visits from that computer during the same day. 

 

There were 9,996 “Unique Visitors” during the first year. 

 

 

 

Another measure provided is that “Circulation Index” shown in the Table below. 

This is a measure of the frequency of visits by each Unique Visitor. 

 


 

 

 


Yet another is their “Loyalty Index” which shows the frequency with which Unique Visitors return to the site. 

 

 


 

 


It also shows the visits by country of origin.  This list is sorted by country frequency.
