Visitors to newspaper Web sites on increase

I haven't written in my blog but once this month. I've been busy, but maybe I can make it up in November.

Here's a start: Reuters just reported that the number of people visiting U.S. newspaper Web sites rose 3.7 percent during the third quarter, according to an industry group, even as their print editions reported lower advertising sales.

I know that the number of visitors to the Tracy Press site grows every time I check Google Analytics. I just looked at the number of pageviews for the last 30 days, it's up to 402,761.

Something's happening out there!

I am curious about the numbers are you interested in posting more infomation. I was wondering, what % of readers are from Tracy, ca. And also what is your traffic from google. I would guess you have also a high number of repeat visitors. If you are getting that kind of traffic I would consider putting a few adsense ads on your page. They pay for impressions as well as clickovers.
