One of the things I like to do at the start of every year is look back at the year before to see how Freechild.org's users used the website. What sections did they visit the most, what topics were most popular, and so on. Knowing that helps me make decisions for the future of the site.

Here are some of the overall numbers for the last year. Freechild.org saw 360,000 visits in 2008 about 1,000 visits per day, and 775,000 pageviews, with about 2,100 pageviews per day. That's just Freechild.org - it doesn't include SoundOut or the CommonAction.org downloads still at work. Those numbers are pretty typical for the last two years.

Those are some of the "big picture" numbers. Here are several more detailed lists to show the most popular content at Freechild.org during 2008.
