Website Tip

How do you get hit counts and webstats for your own site? Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) offer this service with their web hosting packages. There are also companies who offer free services, such as AWStats and StatCounter. I have been happy with both of these companies.

Our Website is Growing by Leaps and Bounds!

NOTE: This page is located in the Things To Do In Chelsea archives and pertains to our old website address at chelsea.surelutions.com. We have changed domain names and stat programs in Sept. 2007, and this data is no longer up to date.

Things To Do In Chelsea was created in July 2005. In just two years, the hits on our site increased from less than 800 to over 140,000.

Month	Number of Hits*
July 05 (partial month)	796
July 06	55,938
July 07	140,816

What is even more important than the number of hits, is the community exposure. As of the fall of 2006, all of the major websites in town as well as other important sites and directories have links to us, including:

City of Chelsea Official website
Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce
Purple Rose Theatre
Chelsea Festivals & Events
Chelsea District Library
TripAdvisor - Chelsea, Michigan
InfoMi - Chelsea, Michigan
WashtenawGuide.com
...and many more!
