NOTE:
"Unique" users are determined by numerical IP address.
These addresses are automaticaly assigned when a user connects to the internet.
Some users may have only one IP address and others several a day and dozens during a month.
At anvilfire we estimate that the total REAL users are 3/4 of the "unique" daily users but only 1/3 of the monthly users.
This means that approximately 18,000 people from 122 countries access anvilfire monthly.
That is approximately three times the traffic of our nearest competition (KeenJunk.com, closed as of 2005) and 10 to 12 times the number two site above.
In agregate anvilfire and its sister sites have about the same traffic as all the other blacksmithing sites on the Internet combined.
This year (2004) anvilfire.com will have 1,680,000 visits! In 2005 anvilfire.com will have well over TWO MILLION visits.

NOTE:
As of December 2006 anvilfire.com left the Top 50 sites due to demands by the operators to change the code on hundreds of pages.
Rather than changing or fixing problems on their end they made it the problem of hundreds of web sites, a dozen of which we maintain.
