Slugger traffic update…

| Readers 1

We haven’t had an update on figures for a while. Given the flow of international stories on Northern Ireland on the wires have dropped by about 80% since last May’s recourse to parliamentary democracy, things are holding up well. Though we are still well short of our two peaks last year: in March during the Assembly election; and November when we covered Margaret Ritchie’s controversial decision to cut funding for the CTI when we had over 61,000 unique visitors. So here’s some of the headlines (for March): unique visitors, 49061; visits, 153996 (3.13 visits/visitor); pages, 711106 (4.61 Pages/Visit); 3252230 (21.11 Hits/Visit); bandwidth, 71.60 GB (487.51 KB/Visit). And, crudely, here are the top twenty referring sites:

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
