My, how we have grown

And boy you have responded! When we started recording stats in May of 2007 (we have one of the best Web stat tracking software packages in the industry), we had about 84,000 page views for the month and 18,000 unique monthly visitors.
A unique monthly visitor is someone who was recorded once for the entire month. This person could have come back a hundred times a day, every day for the entire month, but this particular stat only counts them once a month.
In January of 2008, we had our best month ever with almost 29,000 unique monthly visitors and almost 535,000 page views! Both unique users and pages views have grown every month. I hope this means we are doing something right and creating something that you all enjoy and want to make part of your everyday life. (February of course isn’t finished yet but it is shaping up to be an even bigger month than January!)

Just wanted to say “congrats” on the success of the new website! I’ve been a Journal Courier fan for years and have spent hours upon hours poring over all the great stuff on the website. “MyJournalCourier” is so appropriate for how I feel about my great local newspaper. As a life-long Jacksonville resident (except for a disasterous 2 years in Peoria and 3 women who I hope I never see again), I truly feel that this is “my” newspaper.
