Statistics and monitoring "Akavita" service has significantly expanded the coverage of the Belarusian Internet. The most visited Belarusian Internet resource portal TUT.BY, became a participant of the Akavita service by posting the Akavita hypertext code(transparent visitors counter) on the main page. It should be noted that at this moment the monitoring is carried out only on the TUT.BY front page, so only those visitors who went to the front page are counted. In the plans: expansion of Akavita server capacity and connection of all the TUT.BY projects (e-mail, forums, etc) to the Akavita service.

Placing a hypertext code gives an opportunity to monitor TUT.BY audience and specify it's geographical features. Also such a cooperation has a serious impact on the global statistics of the Belarusian Internet. Currently, the daily TUT.BY audience is more than 50 000 people. Portal TUT.BY is one of the main points of entry to the Internet for Belarusian users who read the latest news, communicate at forums, use e-mail, post private sites, attend a variety of thematic resources of the portal.

Connection of TUT.BY portal provides Akavita with more accurate monitoring of global statistics of the Belarusian Internet. Akavita acts as an independent source of statistics information on the audience of advertising platforms of the Belarusian Internet.

We invite owners of Internet resources to cooperate.
