1: Traffic volume for recent months had been underreported due to monitor capacity problems.
    Counts from April 2010 and later have been corrected.

2: Traffic to mobile site is now counted. (June 208M:13957M=1.5% of total)
    This is the first month, so no trend data yet. Breakdown per language:English:71.3%,
     Japanese:8.6%, German:4.5%, French:3.9%, Russian:3.4%, Others:8.3%
3: New chart for breakdown of traffic volume per project: many projects show peak traffic late 2009.
