So you thought the Internet was shrinking and there's less traffic than it used to be two years ago during the dot com boom? No, in fact, it's still growing dramatically as Capsian Networks reports quoting one of the true fathers of the Internet:

Traffic across the core of the Internet quadrupled over the last year, growing faster than ever, according to new research on the Internet traffic by Dr. Lawrence Roberts.

Roberts' data shows traffic has been doubling every six months on average across core IP service providers' networks, or in other words, growing by four times annually. This is an even faster rate of traffic growth than the average of 2.8 times per year carriers had been experiencing across the core since the Internet began growing aggressively in 1997, spurred by mainstream interest in the web.

Yesterday was the last day of the month and last month seemed to be the first month anvari.org's number of visitors decline since it's been started two years ago. But, thanks to Google update, September's traffic exceeded August's by 1% on the last day of the month as shown in the graph. This is the last year's performance of anvari.org, however, the actual numbers are eliminated for competitive reasons.
