Hi Pamela,

We did update our site counting methodology to align with how Google Analytics counts page views, specifically by removing any visits by search engine bots. In the process, we found that mobile views were not being counted and we are working to add thos back in now.

I'm sorry about the sudden drop - we've had many complaints about counting search engine visits and didn't want to mislead anyone.

Thanks for the suggestions on archives - I agree that this would be very useful!.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Rich
