Last May was a peak for the site (linked to the French presidential campaign which we covered quite extensively. January was a one-off as one article got "dugg", which brought 40,000 hits over a day or two.

As a rough rule, we've grown by about 25% per year in a pretty steady fashion (with probably stronger growth in individual viewer numbers than for pages viewed). Last year, we were around 40,000 visits per month and 180,000 pages. Two years ago, probably around 30,000 and 140,000.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
