That's unique visits, with some visiting more than once! If you had the number count more than one file then it would of been page views. That is VERY good for one day!
Yeah, the count was for page views of index.html only. So that is also counting visits. It used an external counter, so ignored requests for other pages, favicon.ico, and other such stuff. However, some people who clicked through to the next page, very quickly, may not have been counted.
Hmm, in the last few minutes the site has gained a 07 May 2003 dated fresh tag, and the Google cache now shows a page dated 2003-05-07 04:40 UTC. That cached page was replaced on site by a newer page, only about 3 or 4 hours later. So Google must have visited during that short space of time.
Still in the top 5 places for just about anything that I type in.
Interest has now waned, with just 1200 visitors yesterday, and so far, just over half way through today, it has barely reached 175 visitors. This decline is pretty much as expected.
Still showing very old result in -sj, www2, etc, and other results in the other datacentres.
Also still on -sj with an early April page doing OK.
Noticed that -sj still carries cached version from over a month ago now, no fresh listings have been applied on that datacentre since then at all.
Well the answer to the question, was, yep, it was listed on the day; but more by luck than judgement perhaps. Perhaps this thread can be used to show what happens to a new listing on Google; maybe it will show how almost random it all seems to begin with.
Still getting wacky results in all the various datacentres:
In -sj, and -fi there are still the pages cached from early April.
New in -cw is a fresh listing for 14 May 2003, today.
The other datacentres at -va, -ab, -in, -dc, -ex, and -zu simply show the same results as can be obtained at www, as before.
