Idol and breaking news lead the way

On Wednesday, March 26 we had 24,443 unique visitors.

Items of note were two web-only stories written by Gina Carbone. The first, "Idol' recap: What's wrong with Carly?" got 758 page views but an update with a new headline, "Did David Cook steal 'Billy Jean'?" was our number 1 story with 1,646 page views. I'd guess that putting David Cook's full name in the headline improved its Google ranking.

Jeff, would you agree?

A press release about Stonewall Kitchen's new cooking school also scored more than 1,000 page views which serves as a reminder that interesting press releases are valuable content and should be posted on our website ASAP.
