Google has changed its algorithms to the disadvantage of small to medium business who do not advertise with them.
Our figures have dramatically fallen over the last few month. We have no evidence that is a real fall and tests we have
carried out show only 25-33% of our page hits are being recorded by Google analytics.

Aug 17 2017 Google have again changed its algorithm. It shows the same number of visitors but a much lower page reads..
The figure in red is the WolframAlpha analysis
