Re: How much traffic does your team's website get?
I can't remember our exact best numbers for hits, but in terms of bandwidth at our peak (the end of the 2004 season that had our site linked to from the FIRST site's front page), as I recall we exceeded our 10GB per month limit, and almost exclusively from page views. To put that in perspective, being that our front page's HTML alone was actually less than 10KB (and we used barely any other media for layout), we got a lot of hits around that time. As webmaster, it wasn't pretty, and sometimes really slowed the site down in the evenings. As FIRST gets bigger and bigger, the next Website Award winners are going to devour bandwidth... I can only suggest you all get good hosting plans.

Our last website, which was much simpler but involved more page downloading (it wasn't terribly elegantly-coded to say the least) officially peaked at 7GB, but I suspect the actual undocumented number was just shy of 9GB when we stopped checking. Not too shabby I guess.
