On Tuesday, June 17, Seacoastonline saw 25,870 uniques and 168,338, a slightly below average day. As I mentioned, the way to fix this is to redouble our efforts on breaking news between cycles.
The Lara Bunce tragedy out of Hampton continued to be our stop story while photos of the week and sand sculpting were the top galleries.
