Key to LANIC's continued success has been an ever-growing and faithful user base. The number of accesses to our Internet-based information resources has grown consistently since we launched our first public server in 1992, and currently averages between 3.5 and 4 million hits per month.
Other useful statistics include:
- Research conducted in February 2007 indicated that over 96,000 Web Sites contain links to web pages housed on LANIC.
- Our subject directory services began in 1992 when we launched the first Latin American directory on the Internet via Gopher. Currently, LANIC's ever-expanding directory contains pages for 42 countries and 74 subjects.
- These directory pages contain more than 12,000 unique URL's that point to Web sites and pages or other Internet-based content. All resources on LANIC have been carefully evaluated and catalogued by LANIC's editorial staff.
- As of February 2007, the Google index contained 21,600 URLs from the LANIC Web site.
- We receive, and answer or address, an average of over 300 e-mail inquiries, comments, or suggestions per month.
- The LANIC Home Page is designed to load over a 28.8kbps modem connection in about five seconds. A typical country or subject directory page will load about twice as quickly.
