Since 2008, TFAO has not regularly monitored its website traffic and rankings. Up to 2008 TFAO believed that statistics were necessary to prove to volunteers that their contributions of time were meaningful and to sources of content that their cooperation was beneficial.
Occasionally people ask how TFAO and Resource Library market themselves. TFAO relies almost exclusively on on word of mouth and incoming links. It has no advertising or public relations budget. TFAO welcomes volunteers to provide assistance at its promotion volunteerism page.
TFAO may receive inbound traffic from hundreds of thousands of IP addresses per month. Many people access TFAO from institutional computers serving multiple people (e.g. shared use terminals at colleges and libraries) rather than personal machines. TFAO knows of no way to accurately determine how many individuals use these jointly shared computers. Also please see our Privacy Policy.
TFAO refers readers to homepages of content sources through multiple pages in its website. TFAO also provides direct links to individual pages within other websites. For an estimate of the quantity of text and images in TFAO's website please see Content and paper-printed book equivalence.
