Do you have a chart showing the unique users each month, is it rising?

Unfortunately I expect the increase in number may be due to bad economic circumstance and outlook of many people .

thetimes has to correct it; they have written that the site has 9 million visitors, apart from that it's an expert write up

when I read I’ve always thought in that mathematical way reminded me my husband always says I think and look at things clincally but that's by the by

i never knew he was into latin dancing - the article is informative and cool

I can see why you are trialling the Skimlinks software now - 10million visitors brings in a lot of referral pounds .....

A classic example of a crowd-sourced career. Well done Martin and team - we're all better off for reading this forum

fiendishlyclever, you make a good point there about scale: back in 2004-5 or so Wikipedia donations in the annual fund raising drive raised around $30,000 then around $80,000. In the recent ones it's been in excess of a million. Without corresponding increases in the amount of equipment or the technical team running the site. Huge numbers of people can deliver a lot of money, whether it's from donations, ads or fees.

Martin is hopefully doing very well out of this site and is also clearly putting a lot of money into staff and other resources for it, as well as huge amounts of his own time.
