Most users ever online was 438, Yesterday at 11:00 AM. Is that TOTAL for the day or is that at one time?
Well, the number you see on the bottom is a bit misleading. It's created by the forum software. It counts both people and search engine bots as users. In fact, yesterday 1,646 people visited CoinTalk. I don't track how many search engine bots visit, but I'm sure it would be an impressive number as well. Those 1,646 people, however, didn't all visit at once obviously. People generally spend between five minutes and a half-hour here at a time. CoinTalk has really gotten busy since the beginning of 2005. On an average day now, I see anywhere between 1,500 and 2,000 individual people visit the site.
Peter, have you seen any uptick in traffic since being profiled by the ANA in The Numismatist? Also, I admit to being curious as to whether you got any traffic from my link a couple of months ago.
