Very strong day with 31,232 unique visitors and 159,515 page views.
Our top story was the fatal crash on the Maine Turnpike in Ogunquit. Updated three times this story generated 5,400 page views. Gina's online-only piece on Dancing with the Stars got more than 4,500 page views, followed by Beth's story about the guy who got arrested after showing up drunk to fight his parking ticket. Gina's hits were driven by Google while Beth's story was Farked.
The most remarkable thing about yesterday's traffic is that every one of our top 10 articles had 1,000 hits or more. I think that's a first.
In the photo gallery category Ken Stejbach's Lamprey River Canoe race continues to do very well with nearly 4,000 page views yesterday.
