State of theSalemInsider.com blog
Written by admin on January 3rd, 2008 No Comments
Every six months or so I like to let you know theSalemInsider.com is doing and where it will be heading. This helps me organize and prepare for future posts, informs potential advertisers, and garners feedback from readers which really drives this bus.
You may remember that back in October we had a crash and lost a bunch of data. Looking back at the numbers it appears that our misfortune shook things up and worked out for the best. The average daily readership went up 120% from six months ago, with some weeks spiking into the 10,000+ mark. In the same time our RSS feed has had a 400% increase in readership.
Our design is continually if not slowly getting where we want it and a heavier emphasis has been put on photographs. One reason pictures have been so relevant is due to the number of out-of-town visitors this site gets. Almost 62% people who read this blog are from outside this area, many it appears are tourists interested in where to stay and what to do in Salem. The remaining almost 38% are locals interested in the latest restaurant reviews and events.
Top read posts for the past six months were:
We are devoted to continually giving you reviews and updates of what is happening in Salem from an unbiased point of view. We welcome your feedback and suggestions and look forward to making the next six months even better than the last.
