A year ago, in my 2012 yearly review of Grabov Rat website I’ve tried to understand the site’s sustained traffic without growth. Now, for the year 2013, the graph on the right presents data for personal visitors only, i.e. the traffic generated by robots, worms, or replies with special HTTP status codes is excluded. Also, the number of visits of visit duration large than 30 seconds is included under the pretext that the shorter visits are the mishits of search engines from the visitors point of view. On the lower graph, the same data parameters are presented for the selected countries.

Yes, sustained traffic without growth stays as an obvious insight. However, when I research the mechanism of that sustained traffic, nothing convincing surfaces. The numbers of pages visited from a particular country are all over; actually, only the pages from Japan are correlated with the tourist season on the Croatian Adriatic coast. Another example: from January through November only 138 pages are visited from China and then 368 pages in December alone. The number of a particular page visits is even more inarticulate: often a page is the highest viewed page of a particular month, nothing significant before and after that - and I can’t correlate any reason for the event. An example is photoGallery151.html, a page from the Photo Gallery album "Summer of 2009", which I was able to resolve only half way. Here:
