AmphibiaWeb usage

AmphibiaWeb is currently receiving >4000 specific queries a day (2007). These are specific queries to the database, not simple page hits. Since the database went online in January 2000, the number of people submitting queries has grown from an average of 148 queries/day in 2000, to 599 queries/day in 2004, to 870 queries/day in 2005, and more in 2006 and 2007. This graph shows the average queries/day for each month from January 2000 onwards. A surge of queries after May 2006 is due to the indexing by search engines. In contrast, reduction in queries in the last months of 2007 is due to the replacement of an old server that had not been used to serve web pages for two years, but had kept forwarding queries. Those who depended on this service need update their links and bookmarks now.
