stats for issue 23
 | Issue Twenty-Three (live from 12/15/08-3/17/09) 12/15/2008-12/31/2008: 63272 page views 1/1/2009-1/31/2009: 107988 page views 2/1/2009-2/28/2009: 93384 page views 3/1/2009-3/17/2009: 46868 page views TOTAL Page Views: 311,512 page views |
That's pretty comparable to where we've been recently, and assuming page views only held steady from that for the year ahead rather than increasing (as I think they will), we'd end the year at over 1.2 million page views, about 20% higher than we saw in 2008.

stats for issue 22
Because issue 22 was posted about two weeks later than it should have been, I'm going to break out the stats a couple different ways. One is based on the idea of it having come out on September 15 as it should have; the other is based on the dates it was actually live.
 | Issue Twenty-Two (live from 10/2/08-12/14/08) 10/2-12/14: 268,923 page views 9/15-12/14: 329,308 page views |
So... for the actual times that issues 21 and 22 were live, issue 22 is down 14.80%. However, if issue 22 had gone live when I was supposed to get it live (and a lot of people showed up on the 15th to check it out, under the assumption that it would), traffic was up by 18.79%. One thing I'll say after having checked out the stats for the top ten the last few months: issue 21 was the first issue of SmokeLong that generated over 100,000 page views in every month that it was live. And, based on the stats for this month so far, we're well on pace to shatter that again.

stats for issue 21
I'm going to break out the stats for issue twenty-one two different ways since issue twenty-two was so late going live. I'll post one set of stats for what things would've looked like if 22 had come out on time and another set for when 22 actually went live.
 | Issue Twenty-One (live from 6/15/08-10/1/08) 6/15-6/30: 54343 page views 7/1-7/31: 87560 page views 8/1-8/31: 96892 page views 9/1-9/14: 38416 page views 9/15-10/1: 60385 page views Total Issue 21 (through 9/14): 277211 page views Total Issue 21 (through 10/1): 315627 page views |
Even without the extra couple weeks, our birthday issue was clearly a monster: just through the 14th (when it should have finished its run), it broke the previous record for page views by 13.5%. And it seems clear that people were ready for that new issue to hit on the 15th, as the numbers at the end of the month were much higher than at the beginning of the month. I hope my inexcusable tardiness in getting 22 posted didn't cause us to lose readers. To all the writers in this issue, my deepest apologies. I'll do everything I can to make sure you're getting the kind of readership you deserve.

stats for issue 20
Here are the stats for issue twenty:
 | Issue Twenty (live from 3/15/08-6/14/08) 3/15-3/31: 45649 page views 4/1-4/30: 78549 page views 5/1-5/31: 83898 page views 6/1-6/14: 36151 page views Total Issue 20: 244247 page views |
Wow. That's crazy how level that is. (Issue 19 had 244134 page views.) A whopping 0.05% increase in page views over the last issue. I'll be fascinated to see what the numbers look like come September—I'd normally expect a double issue like this to generate a lot more traffic, but our numbers have traditionally taken a dip during the summer, so... it'll be interesting.

Stats for Issue 19
Here are the stats for issue nineteen:
 | Issue Nineteen (live from 12/15/07-3/14/08) 12/15-12/30: 49709 page views 1/1-1/31: 83313 page views 2/1-2/29: 68714 page views 12/1-12/14: 42398 page views Total Issue 19: 244134 page views |
And we see a jump of 28.89%. That's more like it!

Stats for Issue 18
Here are the stats for issue eighteen:
 | Issue Eighteen (live from 9/15/07-12/14/07) 9/15-9/30: 31525 page views 10/1-10/31: 54815 page views 11/1-11/30: 69617 page views 12/1-12/14: 33455 page views Total Issue 18: 189412 page views |
That's a drop of 2.95% versus the June issue. Hmm. I'm kind of surprised by this, as our fall issues have traditionally seen a rise in page views from our summer issues.
