    The Santa Clara Valley Section continued to maintain its presence on the web. The web site grows and continues to be updated. The local section uses the web for the following:

    Visitors and hit counts

    Folder views
        Almost 58% of the visitors to the site accessed the folder containing recent and past newsletters. This figure increased significantly in 2007 because of the discontinuing of the mailing of paper newsletters.
        The home folder was accessed by  over 15% of the visitors.

    Referrals
        "Referrals" answers the question, "Where do people come from when accessing our site?" In 2007 most people accessed our site directly from a link on the web browser (Figure 4). Many also accessed the site through Google and Yahoo!. People accessing our web site mainly used keywords that related to our URL (scvacs).

    Tracking
        Many of or visitors accessed only one page (Figure 6), and then for only less than 10 seconds (Figure 7). This suggests that many of our visitors accessed our site and either were able to get information quickly, or realized they were at the wrong site. Still, almost 5000 visitors viewed two pages or more and about 2000 hits stayed for more than 10 seconds.
