Frequent Blog for Iowa readers may recall, because I mention it every chance I get, that Blog for Iowa first went online on April 1. We did well that month for a newbie website: 2,830 distinct hosts served (the number of individual computers that hit our site) and 7,362 page views.
This morning, I was very surprised to see that in the first 4 days of September, we have surpassed the number of distinct hosts served AND the number of page views for the entire month of April, our first month. Of course, we DO always get a big boost the day after Meet Up, so a big "thank you" to the DFA/DFIA Meet Up hosts for their support, and a "thank you" to Rapid Response - Iowa for mentioning us, too.
As usual, the most viewed categories are Iowa in the News and Candidates, followed by Calls to Action, Environment, Local Events, Dean News, and National News.
And, this killed me - I was looking at the referral stats for September 4th. This shows how people find Blog for Iowa, down to the last person. One reader visited our site by Googling "Stephen Colbert crass-tastic." If you missed that humorous article about the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and their convention coverage, click here.
