March Stats Still on the Upswing -- Is GOP Chair Helping?

All that wintery weather that kept Michigan residents indoors last month had one bright spot -- it gave people more time to check out our posts on Living Blue.

Total visits to our site during the month of March were up 15.63 percent, but that's deceiving since February has only 29 days compared to March's 31. More accurate is the per day average, which was still up a healthy 8.17 percent.

New visits were up 3.93 percent, while unique visitors were up 18.83 percent. And they came to us from 19 countries and territories, led by the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Australia.

Of the United States' portion, 39 states sent visitors our way. Michigan was tops, reporting a 22.31 percent increase in visitors. Arizona, California, New York, and Florida rounded out the top five states in total visitors.

Among our top traffic sources are searches on Google and our friends at Michigan Liberal.

The Google searches are particularly interesting. People often search for the words "Livingston County Democrats Michigan" to find us.

But some people have a tendency to find us by searching for the name "Allan Filip."

Why would people come to us by searching for the name of the Livingston County Republican Party chair?

Allan, are you googling yourself?
