I am pleased to report our May 2009 statistics, which show that we had over 1,000,000 pages viewed during the month! Just last month I was excited that we were closing in on half a million page views a month, and in May we had a grand total of 1,190,168 page views, for our greatest total of pages viewed since we went live in October of 1999! Our unique visitors is down over recent months, likely due to the fact that earlier in the year there was overwhelming interest in one particular article relating to President Obama’s interest in exploring open source solutions and the family dog being cloned and Octomom filed for Trademark articles also provided abnormally high traffic from folks who are only casually interested (at best) in intellectual property. Nevertheless, 8.48 pages viewed per visit in May 2009 is remarkable! Thank you all for continuing to make IPWatchdog so popular!
In any event, here are the raw numbers to date for 2009:
