Our readership more than doubles in one year
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A.M. Costa Rica set another readership record in March when the newspaper registered 2.16 million hits. That was a 22.9 percent increase over February and a 106 percent increase over March 2004, the first month the newspaper exceeded a million hits.
Other statistics had similar increases.
Some 397,368 individual pages were viewed by 99,351 readers. And 45,435 of those readers were registered as unique, which means they were only counted once regardless of how many times they visited the pages in a single day.
The statistics are maintained by the Internet service provider in the United States where A.M. Costa Rica is hosted. The hosting company keeps track of visits independent of A.M. Costa Rica.
The statistical programs screen out hits and visits by mechanical means, other computers and automated Web crawlers.
The statistics show that the average viewer sees about four pages at every visit to the paper.

The Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social was not created full-blown from the onset. Before 1940, there was little public-sponsored social welfare in
Costa Rica. It was President Rafael Ángel Calderón (1940-44), a paternalistic representative of the elite of
Costa Rica who first enacted a social security program that would insure the workers of the banana and coffee industries in the Central Valley. That was approximately 10 per cent of the population. This act stunned his supporters, but social security survived the 1948 Civil War.
