1,179 Visits in a Single Day
On July 9, 2011, my Deviations website received 1,179 visits. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and Welcome!
Visitors came from 18 countries/territories and 31 sources on the Web. Prior to this month, my heaviest traffic day had been Dec. 12, 2009, when the site had 167 visitors, shortly after I released Vol. 3, Destiny. The site had 93 visitors on June 3, shortly after I released Vol. 6, Second Covenant; and then had 183 visitors on July 5.
The flat line for much of the preceding month is due to the website being unavailable until July 1 because I had exceeded my bandwidth. When that happened, I scrambled to list alternative free download sites on my blog, here.
In other Deviations news, I recently assembled a Deviations Omnibus CD containing all six series books in eight e-book formats. As of this writing, the CD (and the original paperback edition of Covenant) have been welcomed at several special Science Fiction and Fantasy collections: the Eaton Collection at the University of California, Riverside, University of South Florida Library, University of Sydney, Paskow Collection at Temple University, and Sydney Jones Library, University of Liverpool. I'm waiting to hear from other special collections as well.
About these five:
The Eaton Collection at the University of California, Riverside. From the website: "The Eaton Collection is the largest publicly-accessible collection of science fiction, fantasy, horror and utopian fiction in the world. ... It is visited by scholars from around the world both for its American and international holdings."
University of South Florida Library's Special Science Fiction and Fantasy Collection: Includes the SF collection of John Clute, believed to be one of the largest privately held collections in the world.
University of Sydney Science Fiction and Fantasy Collections: The library's Ron Graham Science Fiction Collection and Colin Steele Collection together form one of the largest institutional collections of Science Fiction and Fantasy in the world.
Temple University's Paskow Science Fiction Collection: This collection contains more than 30,000 volumes, magazines (pulps, fanzines, and academic journals), over 100 cubic feet of manuscripts, and selected posters, paintings, drawings, and related materials.
University of Liverpool's Sydney Jones Library, Special Collections & Archives: Europe's largest catalogued collection of SF material, including the Science Fiction Foundation Collection and a wealth of literary archives.
