The latest month is at the top. The stats listed are Visits, Page Views and Hits: Visits is the number of individual visitors which Eurodragster.com receives each month. Visits are logged on a daily basis; if the same person visits Eurodragster.com twice or more in one day then only one visit is counted. Eurodragster.com quotes Visits as its preferred access statistic. Page Views is the number of individual pages which have been viewed each month. Hitting the Browser's Refresh button - for example during live Event Coverage - will result in another Page View, therefore the Page Views will be higher for months including Event Coverage. This statistic is not available for all months. Hits is a count of data requests made to the Eurodragster server each month. As loading even one page of Eurodragster.com can result in a number of hits (one for the page itself, one each for all images loaded, etc.) we do not quote Hits as an access statistic unless specifically requested. Month/Year Visits Page Views Hits January 2008 195,809 425,677 4,821,273 December 2007 180,083 373,279 4,454,703 November 2007 190,457 380,730 4,377,795 October 2007 203,184 435,701 4,832,596 September 2007 244,447 1,276,273 8,630,167 August 2007 252,536 579,071 5,684,824 July 2007 309,992 1,198,694 8,037,694 June 2007 282,809 677,686 5,851,367 May 2007 264,824 1,409,817 9,185,120 April 2007 243,493 1,014,618 7,122,308 March 2007 222,171 444,628 4,968,007 February 2007 190,185 357,358 3,991,755 January 2007 200,367 401,751 3,460,115 December 2006 187,895 339,638 2,964,039 November 2006 186,322 381,440 3,117,043 October 2006 202,708 525,642 4,033,195 September 2006 228,215 1,031,170 6,335,711 August 2006 202,806 589,304 4,432,479 July 2006 212,482 738,184 5,322,628 June 2006 187,126 463,976 3,410,145 May 2006 218,486 1,168,657 6,616,032 April 2006 193,790 1,039,714 5,691,986 March 2006 187,886 458,538 3,669,438 February 2006 140,232 337,707 2,359,262 January 2006 147,245 357,160 2,146,132 December 2005 134,846 307,897 1,821,326 November 2005 138,193 478,384 2,635,241 October 2005 138,032 444,012 2,249,456 September 2005 154,471 908,148 4,009,374 August 2005 138,156 393,769 2,357,667 July 2005 140,152 512,817 2,586,468 June 2005 140,388 467,457 2,976,132 May 2005 165,986 967,254 5,294,219 April 2005 143,866 489,001 2,975,334 March 2005 146,273 626,259 3,759,678 February 2005 118,823 326,059 1,745,886 January 2005 128,157 320,503 1,704,786 December 2004 108,173 276,262 1,251,715 November 2004 100,920 335,896 1,406,253 October 2004 118,822 348,869 1,641,551 September 2004 144,476 693,304 2,898,174 August 2004 128,118 387,455 1,575,127 July 2004 116,352 275,074 1,557,109 June 2004 120,278 n/a 2,473,931 May 2004 134,876 n/a 3,157,512 April 2004 122,720 n/a 1,942,448 March 2004 107,369 n/a 1,260,360 February 2004 93,483 n/a 1,061,001 January 2004 99,806 n/a 1,022,380 December 2003 85,221 n/a 832,481 November 2003 93,330 n/a 960,973 October 2003 99,121 n/a 1,191,842 September 2003 121,763 n/a 2,407,432 August 2003 96,982 n/a 1,260,551 July 2003 94,970 n/a 868,112 June 2003 92,892 n/a 1,269,569 May 2003 122,373 n/a 2,141,327 April 2003 92,718 n/a 1,375,287 March 2003 76,481 n/a 727,916 February 2003 73,730 n/a 622,842 January 2003 79,861 n/a 769,419 Click here for a more detailed month-by-month comparison with previous years. Eurodragster.com Editorial Policy All material on this web site is ©Eurodragster.com. The copy-protect on the News and Event Coverage isn't there for nothing. In addition our sponsors pay good money for our news items and event coverage to be published on our pages bearing their logos. Copying news items, pictures or other material from Eurodragster.com without permission is a breach of copyright, we view it as theft, and it upsets us a lot since we work very hard on it. We reserve the right to take the appropriate action - up to and including legal action - against any party stealing our work or that of our contributors. If you wish to use our material - text or pictures - then please write and ask and we should be able to work something out. We are amenable to standing arrangements with serious web sites and publications to use our material without having to ask every time - again please get in touch. If you copy our material first and ask afterwards, not only will the answer be "No", but we will demand its removal. As a matter of principle, we do not not copy news items from other web sites or discussion forums. We expect the same courtesy towards Eurodragster.com from other web sites and discussion forums but do not always receive it because some of these sites have no principles at all. As made clear above, if we catch you lifting stuff, you will hear from us. If you upset us enough, our readers will hear about you too since we have a policy of naming and shaming anyone who gives us enough grief. Similarly, although you might think you are being helpful we cannot accept news items or pictures copied from other web sites or discussion forums. All material submitted to Eurodragster.com is accepted and published in good faith. We check what we can, and we have pretty good bullshit detectors, but we are not about to call our contributors liars and we assume that no-one is going to try to mislead us deliberately. If a news item turns out to be incorrect then it is highly unlikely to be our fault, and it won't have been deliberate. If you have a problem with the content of a news item then in the first instance please talk to the contributor, if named. If the news item is not credited then please get in touch with us, but even if you are unhappy about something then please keep a civil tongue in your head. We reserve the the right to edit all submissions for clarity, factual accuracy, grammar or spelling, length, decency (we assume a family readership), or for any other reason deemed necessary. Please take the time to give submissions at least elementary punctuation. We are happy to publish news items in languages other than English, although we reserve the right to send foreign-language submissions to an interpreter for content checking before publication, just to make sure that no-one is saying "Eurodragster.com is crap" in a language they know we can't read. We are happy to observe embargoes on news items or press releases. We prefer to receive news items or press releases in advance because it gives us more time to code up the text. If you want a news item published on a certain day, even at a certain time on a certain day, then we can do that: please ask when you submit it. We will not publish news items submitted anonymously. We will publish spy pictures anonymously, but even then we would prefer some identification from the contributor - we just won't publish your details. We do not do unsubstantiated rumour or gossip, at least in public. All published news is authorised by the racer, Club, official, promoter, track or other party involved. Like everyone else we enjoy off-the-record rumour and gossip; just make sure you tell us that it is not for publication. We will not publish news items criticising any individual by name. You would not want anyone to slag you off in public, would you? In the case of disputes we will give each side a say and then close the matter. Please note that it is our call whether we publish controversial pieces in the first place. If you're one of those few sad individuals who goes around telling people that Eurodragster.com doesn't publish controversial stuff because we've been suborned or in order to keep our media access then (a) You really don't get what we're about do you, and (b) Go away and lie about someone else and come and talk to us when you have several thousand readers a day. We will not publish news items about illegal street racing since we do not approve of it and, duh, it's illegal. Similarly to the above we will either edit or refuse to publish news items which either promote or appear to promote the drinking of alcohol at races or in any other situation which involves the driving of, or crewing for, race vehicles or road vehicles. One of the Eurodragster.com staff was almost killed by a drunken driver some years ago and we all feel very strongly about this. Unless there is a valid reason, we will not amend or remove a news item at the request of any individual other than the contributor of the news item or any individual named in that news item. If you feel you've been hard done by, then your first assumption should be that it is not deliberate because we do not allow anyone to be insulted deliberately on Eurodragster.com. So if anything gets through then it will not have been done on purpose. Get in touch with us and if we see your point then we can quickly remove or amend the item at issue. We are more than happy to publish birthday and other greetings on the News page but please do not leave it until the last minute: you do after all have 364 days to tell us and we will not add late greetings to that day's news update. Do you like belated birthday cards? We are happy to take part in wind-ups, friendly rivalries between racers etc so long as you tell us that you are doing so, so that we are covered. If you are interviewed at any event we are covering, then you should assume that you are being interviewed for the event report and that you will be quoted. We're not writing in those notebooks just for the fun of it. If you do not wish to be quoted then please say so; we won't have a problem with it. We frequently receive requests for assistance in securing media access to tracks or events. Whatever anyone may think, we have absolutely no influence in such matters with any track, Club or promoter, and even if we did you would still be wasting your time asking us. If you do send us an E-Mail asking for help in securing media access it will neither be acknowledged nor answered since we've just advised you not to bother. When European racers are competing in the USA or elsewhere, please do not copy results from the local web site and send them to us. We are just as capable as anyone else of reading race results, and we quite often have a direct line to a team when they are abroad. Eurodragster.com covers European drag racing. Hence the "Euro". With the exception of obituaries, only in special circumstances do we publish drag racing news from outside Europe and even then usually with a European connection. Race series, Clubs, promoters and racers in the USA, Canada, Australia, the Middle East and several other countries have their own official, magazine and fan sites which should be visited for their news. So for example if an American racer has a spectacular crash then please don't bother sending us a link to a YouTube video or whatever, because we will already have seen it, and we will not publish it on our European News page. All pages on Eurodragster.com including the webcam are designed for Microsoft Internet Explorer and a screen resolution of 1024x768.
