ANES Website Statistics
ANES entered the digital era during the 1995-1997 grant period, bringing its FTP server online in 1994 and launching its website in 1995. The website statistics below cover activity from 2012 through the end of last month and are updated at the beginning of each month.

Notes
- Until 2011, ANES used server logs to gauge the volume of website traffic. Beginning in 2012, Google Analytics has been used to track website activity. The charts above report Pageviews (2012 – May 2022 in Universal Analytics) and Views (June 2022 – present in GA4).
- From November 2015 through September 2018, the Google Analytics tracking code was not fully implemented on many pages in ANES data tools (including the Guide to Public Opinion and Electoral Behavior, the Core Utility, and the Search Tool). Pageview totals during this period understate actual traffic for these tools and are not fully comparable to other periods.
- File download metrics were not collected from August through December 2018 due to technical issues. Download counts for that interval are missing.
