Sorry for the confusion: Dave is right, I just asked the question wrong.
I am not really concerned about the mirrors, but how much traffic the
main portal endures, and if that number justifies the putting of
advertisements on the site.
The answer to the first appears to be about 320 MB per day, or about
9 gigs per month. Not too shabby, but not too bad either. To be
totally fair, we should also factor in all the other sites (subdomains)
that hub.org is providing.
I see the big questions as:
What prompted the redesign to put the ads on every page of the site,
when before they were only on the opening "flags" page?
How much monthly revenue do the ads bring in, and can we (the community)
provide an alternative to this income, perhaps via direct contributions?
