Excellent day online

Very strong traffic yesterday with 34,355 unique visitors and 158,370 page views. We got a nice boost from a link off a conservative radio talk show host's website called boortz.com that linked to the York tax scam story. The Holly Spreen story was very strong and the pot case that got tossed due to a backup at the state lab benefitted from a link from Fark. The umbrella tree story out of Rye got more than 1,500 page views which just goes to show that the web is an audience of niches and the more niche content we put up the more we'll drive audience. The granny arrested for parking tickets scored more than 1,300 page views in the short time it was up. Ken Stejbach's spring sports gallery drove more than 3,000 page views. I think the American Idol story, which got 971 page views would have done better if we put the guy's name in the headline rather than calling him "The boy from Oz."
