KI-Media readership question

Dear KI-Media Readers,

Following the publication by the Phnom Penh Post of an article related to KI-Media, one of our readers posted the following question:

Socheata – how do you know that there are roughly 32,000 unique users?

Were these users identified by their ip addresses, and who can put his hand on these users ip addresses? Can some “authority” or “agency” get their hand on the list of these ip addresses?

Reader "Agent32" can rest assure that the numbers we provided were merely statistics from the "free" counter site we use. As such, we do not keep track of anybody's IP address or anything else, but it is quite possible that the web counter site we use may tally some information to come up with the statistics they provide us.

In case our readers would like to know, the following are the statistics we received for the week of 21-27 September:

• Pageloads: 73,697
• Unique Visitors: 33,601
• First Time Visitors: 13,832
  
• Returning Visitors: 19,769

We hope that this clarification would help answer the questions raised by "Agent32".

Thank you,

KI-Media team
