I was very pleased to read this week that, according to Hitwise, the Woodlands website is again the biggest recipient of traffic from the search term ‘mothers day’. Our website received a third of all clicks on the term – more than three times as much as Wikipedia, and much more than any commercial sites (many of which, unlike our site, paid for much of their traffic)."

One group decided that he was running a marathon and was just out of breath and asking
