Thanks for the info, Fergus. On a couple of chess message boards I visit regularly, one can view Who's Online at any moment, by clicking to it. Typically only a small fraction of those visitors online at any given moment are identified as spiders or bots (the two message boards are chesstalk, and the Chess Federation of Canada's discussion board). Thus, the number of unique visitors to CVP main site may well be a high percentage of actual people. Even if only half the unique visitors to CVP main site monthly are truly unique individuals, that's heartening as far as indicating that there may be a very substantial number of people even slightly interested in chess variants worldwide (not all being English language readers). As far as people just looking stuff up goes, I think websearches would include the name CVP in giving any search result description, which someone would see before clicking on the link, so that may count for something.
