Does this include deletions?
I wonder if hits, or hits from different IP addresses, per month has also been increasing. You've got this "SoMusical.com" link now, although I don't know how much traffic they see. SA-CD.net seems to do well with "SACD" searches on Google:
Search Approx. Rank
1) "SACD" - 4
2) "SACD titles" - 20
3) "SACD music" - 30
4) "'Rolling Stones' SACD" - 3
5) "SACD reviews" - 3
6) "Mahler SACD" - 1
7) "classical SACD" - 1
8) "rock SACD" - 1
Interestingly, it's quite often stuff in the forum that Google is finding.

In answer to your questions:
These figures are "live". If/when a title is deleted, it's gone and won't show up in these figures.
Hits/traffic to this site has been increasing slowly but steadily. About 40% are new visits (from search engines, links elsewhere). I no longer track "unique" visitors ... there's no foolproof way to do this anyway.
I don't see much traffic from "SoMusical.com". Their graphic looked good, so I used it :-).
As for Google hits, I've spent a lot of time engineering the site to be Google "friendly". Google has some very interesting algorithms (some public, some not) for determining what pages get displayed first. Since this is a content rich site with a fair few links from other sites, it does better than others.
The site is completely indexed by Google. There must be tens of thousands of page permutations here!

Thank you Zeus, other people that work on this site, and contributors to the forum.
I found your site through Google for "SACD reviews". I was looking for independent confirmation that SACD could be a worthwhile hobby. Had experienced trouble getting hard-to-find (redbook) CD's before on the internet and didn't know how much of a hassle the SACD thing would be. Didn't know if affordable equipment could perform. The content on this site lead directly to my decision to get involved.
I hope I can return the favor and offer useful information. However, I am not an "expert" on performers or equipment.
Thanks.
