Site Statistics

I know this is a science and engineering blog and so I should keep it exactly on that course, but sometimes things happen that shake that all up a bit.

The reason I'm writing is that over the last week or so the number of visitors that are being sent to our encyclopedia have dropped dramatically and it all appears to be down to Google. The pagerank hasn't changed, as per some blogs that appear to have a significant change going from a PR4 to a PR3. No, we have remained at a PR6 - that should mean we have a reasonable rating should it not?

This has happened before. The numbers dropped for a week or slightly more and then returned to normal.......

Well it started to drop at the end of September 2008 and I will let you know any updates.
