The first half of the second year of the sites’ operation has proved to be a tremendous success, hit rates are up by over 50% from an average 5500 per month in the last half of 2003 to just over 8500 per month for the first half of 2004, resulting in over 50,000 hits so far this year (1^st January to 30^th June 2004).

A lot of this success has been due to the hosting of the updated EU Automotive EMC directive and this can be clearly seen in the enormous hit rate the Papers section of the site has received, this section is already up 100% on last years figures. Another section that has seen a significant increase in interest is the Conference pages that have exceeded expectations for the first half since these tend to peak just before the conference itself, this year in October. Hopefully this will translate into a good attendance figure at this years Automotive EMC 2004 conference and I’ve been told that multiple delegate bookings have already been received.

There is only one group of pages that are performing below expectation, these are the Equipment suppliers pages. These will be retained as we feel this is still a useful links page for our test service suppliers. The Test and Design pages have seen higher than expected hits and we confidently expect to exceed last year’s figures by 25%.

The "Others" sections are page links that are obtained via the index and some non-registered direct links. These will be kept separate for the remainder of this year but will be more accurately filtered for 2005.
