Web traffic report Feb. 1 & 2

Friday, Feb. 1

Major thanks and congratulations to Beth for her report on top salaries in Portsmouth. As you can see this story got more than 3,400 hits on Friday and another 3,000-plus on Saturday. Thanks also to Andrew and Claudette who scanned and posted the full report in pdf form for the web. This report was downloaded more than 1,000 times.

This was an example of good reporting and execution that can be duplicated by all of our reporters. I know Adam Leech is doing something similar for Portsmouth's schools and I STRONGLY encourage all our town reporters to get these numbers for their towns and schools, write reports and work with Andrew to get the PDFs online. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

More praise goes to Ken Stejbach whose photo galleries, singlehandedly, earned us more than 7,000 page views on Friday and 9,300 on Saturday. This tells us that all photographers at sporting events should create galleries. Please see me if you have questions about this.
