This means that an average of 311.54 readers have read each of Mr. Reyes’s 321 articles for the said period of almost 14 months. For Google to be able to record on a daily basis the number of hits, each visit must come from a particular computer hooked to up to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). As a general rule, repeat visitors using the same computer on the same day register only one hit, no matter how many times they visit a particular article on the same 24-hour period. In fact, computers sharing the same broadband connection are read by Google as only one site (one computer).

The top-10 authors of the MabuhayRadio.com have written a combined 718 articles as of the time this article was written. All the 718 articles collectively generated 191,807 hits. Bobby Reyes accounted for 44.71% of the articles and 52.14% of the hits. On an overall scale, each of the 718 articles generated an average of 267.14 readers and most of them are actually the so-called “unique users” that the Google and the Mambo 4.6.2 program (software) were able to recognize. This year, the MabuhayRadio.com will pass the 2,000 milestone in the number of articles published.

According to Allan Albert, the MabuhayRadio.com webmaster, this website now attracts 500 to 600 “unique users” per day. This performance has enabled this website to become the top Filipino community website in the United States. The MabuhayRadio.com and the AsianJournal.com continue to fight for supremacy in the Alexa.com rankings for the United States. The MabuhayRadio.com, a mere online publication, is just on its 14th month of existence. The AsianJournal.com is on its 17th year and counts on its hard-copy editions distributed in Southern and Northern California, Southern Nevada and the New York-New Jersey Filipino markets to promote its website.

Currently, the MabuhayRadio.com is ranked by Alexa.com as #74,281 most-popular site in the United States. The Alexa.com ranks the AsianJournal.com as #77,610 in the U.S.A.

Mr. Albert also discontinued the online counter on Feb. 19, 2008, after it registered 112,786 hits (or visits). Instead he replaced it with the Google and Mambo 4.6.2 programs of monitoring hits, plus the ranking system of Alexa.com. Mr. Albert said that the three systems enable him to determine a more-realistic approach of knowing the actual number of “unique hits” generated by the website. After all, nobody can manipulate the three outside programs that the MabuhayRadio.com uses, so that the numbers of hits that are shown on the “Mabuhay Radio's Top 10 Authors” reflect the most-accurate recording of visits (readership).

So, who said that “Nobody reads the MabuhayRadio.com and Bobby Reyes?” Please visit again this article, FANHS Web Sites Attract Few Readers, wherein one critic of Mr. Reyes said so without any factual basis at all. # # #
