WOODBURY REPORTS ONLINE GROWS FOUR-FOLD IN 1999
(June 1, 1999) Alexa, a Web Navigation Service, has just upgraded Woodbury Reports’ online newsletter Places for Struggling Teens
to one of the top 100,000 sites on the Web, based on numbers of visitors. It also ranks Woodbury Reports Online as among the “best
of the web,” out of the millions of web sites currently existing. Woodbury Reports Online averages 15,000 unique visitors a month
or 500 a day. Another system of counting translates this into about 9,000 hits a day. At any rate, we have been swamped, responding
to parent requests for information. Woodbury Reports went online in September 1995, shortly after the public discovered the web, and
the print edition of the newsletter has been published since 1989 with about 2,000 copies circulated each issue to interested professionals.
