Improvements
to on-line information at www.lead.org.au
There were over
173,543 page-views of the massive amount of information on our
website this year. There are now 1,415 files on-line
including graphics, cgi, word, pdf, text, java, and javascript on the
website. 48.15% of our web-page viewers (83,553
page-views) were from Australia and the remaining 51.85%
(92,423 page-views) were from 159 other countries.
There has been a steady
increase of web page-views throughout the FY 2004/05 compared to last year
with 97,700 page-views in total. 51.6% of our web-page viewers
(50,413 page-views) were from Australia and the remaining 48.4% from 143
other countries in FY 2003/04.
Accordingly, the number of
web-page viewers from Australia has increased by 33,140 viewers (83,553
-50,413) and there have been 45,136 more web-page viewers (92,423-47,287)
from other countries compared to the last FY.
Since the foundation of
the LEAD Group and the implementation of the relating web-page including the
advice service there had been web-page viewers from 176 countries seeking
for information on www.lead.org. See Appendix
5 and 6 for the corresponding list of
those countries.
The following chart shows
the change in the number of page views over the past three years,
unfortunately the free counter only goes to 20,002 per month, in April and
May this year the counter stopped about five days before the end of the
month so we would have had at least another 5,000 views for the period.

2: Monthly Page
Views Report Details
In addition to Table
5, the graphic makes clear that the number of web-page views since its
implementation in December 2002 has increased essentially each year and
the period March to July 2005 shows approximately double the web-page
views of the corresponding period in 2003. The apparent decrease in
August 2005 is due to the fact that there is only data available for the
very first days of this month so far.
Our web-master David
Ratcliffe made over 751 improvements
to the site (see Appendix 7) including
updating entries in 12
tables from our referrals database so that web-users can search out
their own lead-trained painters, lead assessors, ceiling dust
removalists, laboratories, lead spot test kit retailers, etc.
There was also
an enormous enhancement of new and/or updated links on www.lead.org.au this FY. See Appendix 8 which enumerates the particular
links for the last FY and Appendix 9
for this FY.
Improvements to On-line Information in General
The web-master David
Ratcliffe managed a regular registration with 97 search engines
and registers including Google, Yahoo and Alta Vista. We have so far
found at least 125 websites
which contain a link to www.lead.org.au -
see Appendix 10. Another list in Appendix
10 follows from research with the search engine Google on 16 August
2005. It shows an example of the text around the link on some web-pages
which are linked with www.lead.org.au.
Please see Appendix 11 ‘The LEAD Group site map 2005’
that summarizes all our achievements made so far on the web-page by our
tireless volunteer webmaster David Ratcliffe.
Increase
of Information in the Database
Over 7,703 library information
products are now data-entered including 1,640 with URLs. There are also
over 4,490 useful referrals now entered in the database of which 2,088
referrals were made this year.
