I sincerely hope that community resources are NOT being used to fund this site if they insist on publishing this sort of rubbish, and recycling other media that has no connection to Estonian society. All 15 of us who actually visit this site would like to see relevant news.

You need Prozac if you think that community resources are at play. Direct your venom at EKN, who sits pretty on donations and does little except peddle books. EE at least entertains and provides genuine community service - see the events calendar, coverage of all local affairs starting with lasteaed and ending with pensionaarid. And it is not nice to poke fun at Ms Boyle and her mental health issues. At least she is out there, doing something, while the cowards jeer from the anonymous sidelines.

The editor of this website is also listed as a member of EKN on the EKN website and the new english language editor, I understand, is a paid EKN staff member. So who is it that I'm supposed to direct my concerns to?
Any decent and relevant content on this site comes from the paper version. Perhaps they should take over the web operations.

"... english language editor, I understand, is a paid EKN staff member."
First you need to get correct information.
Next you need to spend time on your psychiatrists couch delving into why you have a god complex, just like a communist komisaar.
If that doesn't suffice, electric shock treatments should do the trick. Good luck with your medical treatments.

From that sort of language I would guess you're someone who is involved with this website!
By answering legitimate reader concerns with demeaning name calling is not going to win you any new readers. But if you're posting crap like this, you're not looking for any readers.

If that is the case, then I - and many others in the community- have been misinformed and I am glad that someone has made a clarification on that point. However, this does not change the fact that the content on this site -out side of the paper version reprints - is of very low quality.

Whose kool aid are you drinking?
I'd like to see you post audited web statistics for this site before you go around claiming "an audience" from 130 different countries.
Hasn't anyone wondered why EE has only one paid advertiser!?

I agree! This site provides a valuable service and is much appreciated. (even though I pay for and read the paper version as well)
If there is content here that doesn't intrest you, just ignore it. I'm sure you don't read every article in the paper either!
Ms Boyles singing doesn't interest me - I didn't watch the video. SIMPLE!

Nice try! Specific statistics are only available to whoever installs a tracker - usually the webmaster. Google does not do this - never has.

The estimated statistics provided by free sites such as Statbrain or Alexa are only estimates (and quite inaccurate as such). Without the actual logs it is impossible to determine the number of visits.

Okey-dokey! Here are two links to brighten your otherwise dull Tuesday afternoon.
This site ranks sites by estimated traffic and back links. The first site anylized is this site and we've chosen a relatively random site to compare it to: Monkeyheaven.com . This is a site dedicated to an obscure 80's series about Japananese sci-fi monkeys from Hokkaido.

Eesti.ca is ranked at about the same place as Monkey Heaven! Audited viewership indeed!

my you sure show a lot of interest in this one website article
don't you have a job ?
you are becoming a more prolific, negative poster than maxim, though he sometimes does add an interesting perspective
anyway keep the visits up, i'm sure the website staff appreciate them

Just looking for some honest truth. I guess some people don't like that.

so am I understanding this correctly...by posting vid's and other interesting mainstream non-Estonian articles on this website....Eesti Elu gets more visits which means more clicks which means more advertisers which means more revenue....which means more worth.

i think it's going to take a while to get the ad revenues up from $3 per day to something substantial.

check out the top sites in US according to websiteoutlooks. Looks like porno rules the day, google ranks only 12th. Ha, ha!

Right. The internet doesn't quite work that way. Just because you post a video of a freakish British woman singing some song does not mean that you'll get more "hits". You would likely get more hits if you eliminated the crap on this page, found a real editor, and focused on doing one thing well rather than a bunch of random stuff very poorly.

you said it best
