CRMVet Website Annual Report, the Year 2014
As of December 31, 2014
Overall, 2014 was good year for website content — the number
of stories, letters and documents increased significantly.
However, the number of people visiting our site grew more slowly than last
year. We're not sure why that was, it may be that fewer public & private
schools are teaching about the Civil Rights Movement or they're using our site
less. Or it may be that fewer Movement veterans are helping to promote the
site by linking to it from their blogs and posts or mentioning it to their
friends. Another possibility is that while Google lists us very high in search
results, the Bing search engine which is owned by Microsoft has dropped us way
down in their listings. Since Yahoo uses Bing, this means that we are
downgraded by the 2nd and 3rd most popular search engines that students use.
