Well, there's nothing like brothel secrets to get people reading. Great job by Beth to stay on top of the this story and pounce on the records once they were unsealed. A big scoop translated into big traffic.

Adam Leech did a real nice job on the story about the Navy SEAL killed in Iraq and then greatly increased his audience by submitting the story to icasualties.com, a website that lists those killed in combat. How did he find this site? He Googled Iraq and Death and this was the first thing that came up. Brilliant.

Lighthouse Award Winner (it's like the newsroom Oscars, you keep the title forever) Ken Stejbach brought us another 4,000 page views with his photo gallery "Night of 1,000 points for Petzy."
