Figure 3GEO retrieval statistics

Daily usage statistics evaluated over a 4-week period January 24 to February 20, 2002. Web server GET (blue) and POST (magenta) calls are evaluated for URL http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi. GET calls correspond roughly to links being followed from other Web pages, most likely following Entrez ProbeSet queries. POST calls roughly correspond to direct queries by Accession number. The spike of activity seen from January 29 to January 31 represents retrievals by one IP address and most likely represent an automated “Web crawler” pull.
