Visits to Green Left Weekly's web site continue to surge. In March, individual visits are now more than 70% above the level in February and still rising. In the third week of March, there were 7825 visits per day (with 36,470 hits and 20,488 pages viewed per day). That's 54,775 individual visits per week!
Interest in GLW's extensive coverage of imperialism's war against Iraq and the growing worldwide antiwar movement is clearly one of the reasons for the site's increasing popularity.
GLW's online archive makes available all articles published since 1991. An on-site search engine allows visitors to search the back issues.
The GLW web site also continues to rise in the world ranking of web sites, complied by alexa.com. Currently ranked at 99,084, GLW is the highest-ranked political web site in Australia.
In comparison, the NSW Labor Council site ranks at 104,604, the Australian Conservation Foundation's site is at 147,430, the ALP site is ranked 231,341, the Liberal Party at 280,479, the Australian Greens comes in at 446,679 and the Australian Democrats ranks 448,766.
