December, 2012 Traffic Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

We installed a new program to monitor our traffic due to the limitations of of Google Analytics. This new plug-in actually collects the raw traffic information whereas Google does not collect traffic from all sources and from those who block that type of interface. As such, traffic reports will come monthly instead of quarterly due to processing the raw traffic numbers. This information helps the publishers we support better understand Roleplayers Chronicle’s target audience and visibility.<\/em><\/p>\n
