One Wednesday, March 17th, there were 576 brand new visitors to Talk of The Villages. These were people who had never been here before. They spent an average of 7 minutes and 50 seconds on the site.

I think that's and astoundingly high figure for a local site like this. They were here to see what you all are saying. Keep up the good work.

Are you sure they were all people and not bots from search engines that were indexing the posts?

I'm not putting down this site - I LOVE IT! I'm just asking.

I'm sure some of them were, but we are also able to track where they came from. While I didn't sit and look at all of them, the ones I did see, most of them originated from direct referrals from search engines and other sites.
