Might your conclussion be spurious? People may be checking out scientology, but are they doing it to be informed or to be sold?

I think that the people who go to the official Scientology website will be aware of the elements that don’t add up.

search “anonfollower” on youtube.

See you on the 15th.

With articles and blog posts concerning the protests, as well as Google rankings putting more and more critical sites on page 1 of search results, I predict there will be exponential growth in opposition to the Church of Scientology among mainstream internet users and society at large. Never before has such a wealth of information (xenu.net, Youtube, etc.) been available into what that organization does: intimidation, suppression, human rights abuses, child neglect/abuse, subversion of the legal process, harassment, and so on. Additionally, actual Scientologist documents have recently become widely available on Youtube and photosharing sites, increasing knowledge of the odd upper-level beliefs and self-declared world-domination aspirations of the group.
This is bound to create widespread blowback and a severe crimp in recruitment efforts for the group. Furthermore, details of how the group obtained its religious tax exemption from the IRS are forthcoming, and under review by the 9th circuit court of appeals.
The times, they are a changing. The uncontrolled flow of info offered by the internet is bound to put an end to such shadowy dealings.

you have to remember that the graph you are using is ending on jan 08 and the protests were on feb 10th 2008. Alexa (the web information company) is showing that around FEB 6th is when xenu.net was getting much more traffic then scientology.org. enturbulation.org (forum organizing the raids) has recieved MUCH more traffic then scientology.org in the past few days.

Did the attempts of un-censorship from anonymous really backfire because of spikes in Scientology web traffic or was this simply a result of Tom Cruise’s ‘leaked’ videos?

I wonder what the top search terms were around the words “Tom Cruise” during the time period. I’m willing to bet some of them were ..”Is Crazy” and ..”was way cooler in top gun”

Why do you call scientology a religion ?

It’s a sect, in the french meaning, like a “Cult” for you english-speaker !

I think the people count is far from being the complete picture. I know I for one have visited the scientology site on a couple of occasions during January. Each time I spent only a few seconds there mainly to have a little laugh before moving on. The number of visits to scientology goes up but I wouldn’t say the campaign has backfired.

If you look at the average stay you see that time spent on the site by visitors at scientology has remained static (-3%) while visitors on xenu.net spent 48% more time on the site.

The data is a little difficult to interpret though as both sites dropped in December.

Pages/visit also does something similar - both sites increase but with xenu.net increasing faster.
