Thank you!
For the past eight months nrmarketwatch.com, the website, newsletter, and more recently Twitter feed has been a fun way to share the things I see and hear that impact local business and media. This is the 500th post and here are a few stats you may find of interest.
- 8,017 is the number of views since launch
- 223 is the highest traffic day, occurring on Feb.28, 2009
- Three times, the number of times nrmarketwatch has been named in the top 100 for traffic growth on wordpress.com
- 44 – the number of comments
- About 500, the number of local businesses signed up for the weekly emailed newsletter
- Local items – the most popular items, especially Neil Hummel’s real estate update and Rick Sohn’s timber articles; funny videos also get high viewership, as do advertising tips
Along with regular contributors I receive many positive comments about nrmarketwatch but most people, including myself, would like more local items. This activity is supported by stolen minutes from my real job and some free time on the weekends so original work is limited.
I am always looking for greater local participation. Even a short graph or two about business trends and activities from you are always appreciated. Just send them to mraymond@nrtoday.com.
Thanks for reading.
Mark
