Bad News, Good News on Monthly Stats

When it comes to traffic on Living Blue, this month's report is a good news/bad news situation.

First the bad news. With the election over, visits to the blog in November dropped 29.19 percent compared to October. That's not surprising since there is less political news to comment on. On the plus side, time on the site spent by visitors is up 27.16 percent and the average number of pages viewed are also up 4.9 percent.

Visitors came from 35 countries and territories, from 47 U.S. states, and from 114 cities within Michigan.

Compared to November a year ago, however, total visitors are up 159 percent and pageviews are up 157.28 percent. Unique visitors are up 173.11 percent.

That's enough to keep us motivated to blog.

The good news outweighs the bad. I think that people are staying longer on the blog says that they are more serious which is a big plus since these are the people who will stay around between elections. The other thing is that the blog is well-written, timely, presents other viewpoints, and definitely serves a purpose in an area where it's difficult to get a fair hearing from the local media.
