Facebook helps drive Kennebunk gallery traffic

People were out enjoying a sunny Memorial Day yesterday. Our unique visitors were way down (17,420) but those who came viewed a lot of pages (139,420). The Kennebunk Prom photos by Kevin Byron and Laura Dolce continue to be massively popular (30,708). One new wrinkle was the Coast Star's use of Facebook to promote its gallery. Here's a note Laura sent me yesterday:

"We created a link to the gallery on our Facebook page and “advertised” that it was coming the day before, then messaged everyone we could Saturday night that it was posted. I think we can really drive web traffic on certain content with Facebook."
