Kim, Are all these people loopers ? Obviously there are a number of hits from the same person but have you any idea who these people are, (I don't expect you to know them all personally but you know what I mean). I often use Amazon for books & CD's do you benefit if I access their web site through the LD site ? If so , I'll go that route in future. Gareth Looper's Delight > by itself, per month, is about 400,000 page views, 700,000 file requests > (hits), 100,000 user sessions, 9GB of bandwidth, and around 1GB of disk > space. Plus a fair amount of CPU in handling the search engine, archiving > and indexing the list, ad serving, mailing list, web server, dns, etc. >The > mailing list might have to send anywhere from 25,000 to 100,000 mails a > day.
