BCN's January Traffic: We've Done Better

    There are personal attributes of mine that I am continuous in my struggle to perfect: knowing internet traffic and how to collect it, and abject honesty in all things Stan. To that collective end, I must admit BCN, of recent, has known better months in traffic. Seven months ago, I would have done back flips to know we suddenly had this kind of traffic. That was then, this is now.

    Understandably, after over 4 years of building Beaufort County NOW into the top cyber site originating from Beaufort County, I well understand that building traffic is like a hike in the mountainous woods. One must trek up and then down along thin mountain trails, under a heavy canopy of upper story, to finally gain the high summit to view the unobstructed beauty of a lovely valley, with its picturesque mountain shoulders shielding it from the chaos of an all too real world. We, at BCN, ever endeavor to attain that ascending summit. Sometimes, we achieve it. This month, we did not.

    Here below is a sheet of the metrics of our traffic for January, 2014, and the milestones that, while we may not have achieved - we competed for last month:

    Milestones for Beaufort County NOW: Our Growing Readership in January, 2014

     •   5th Most Unique I.P.s visiting BCN per day - 2,367    - 51.06% increase over the last 11 months.

     •   3rd Most Unique Page Views per day - 14,160    - 95.44% increase over the last 11 months.

     •   2nd Most Hits per day - 160,207    - 120.49% increase over the last 11 months.

     •   2nd Most Files accessed per day - 153,039    - 127.61% increase over the last 11 months.

Latest Publishing

It is beginning to occur in spurts rather than sputters - BCN improving upon its past in popularity, and in a successive manner.
Not only did our server go down, but we lost nearly two and one half months of data, in short, posts, well considered posts gone.
This post should have been written almost three weeks ago, but with all that has transpired, I have been busy of late, and I have written very little about many things, but still have most of these worlds still whirling around in my head, so here goes.
Beaufort County Now has had an exemplary year, but November, 2015, after our best month ever, October, 2015, started with a whimper, but finished with a bang to top our best month ever for Unique IPs per day.
It was close, but BCN's October, 2015, month of daily traffic ascended to a level that allowed Beaufort County NOW to capture the 'brass ring' of sustained popularity to monthly best that blowout time of March, 2015, by the slimmest of margins.
Beaufort County NOW (BCN), northeastern North Carolina's only moderated Informational Platform, had yet another second best month in a row, and consistently improved in traffic, or was it our best?
Beaufort County NOW (BCN), northeastern North Carolina's only moderated Informational Platform, has consistently improved in traffic from the drop in readership after March, 2015, which was the blowout month that 'took our breath away'.
What takes an internet publication form a local communication portal - just so one might cry out a few salient ideals - to that community's dominant player, to a regional juggernaut?
Beaufort County NOW (BCN) did not have its best month to date, but it did have it's third best month so far this year, which means it was our third best month since we began it September, 2009. We'll take it.
Beaufort County NOW, originating in Beaufort County, has registered four straight months of traffic exceeding 180,000 page views per day, and, henceforth, must NOW claim the mantel of regional publication here in northeastern North Carolina.
Beaufort County NOW (BCN) will no longer be a stand alone entity, with a concentration on all subjects on God's complicated earth; BCN will now stand with Beaufort County Business (BCB) to concentrate on serving the business community in Beaufort County and the region of northeastern North Carolina.
Beaufort County NOW is now the number one website originating from Beaufort County, and trust me on this one fact: It was no 'walk in the park'.
As many of you may have noticed, there are subtle changes to Beaufort County NOW. And while they may seem insignificant to some naked eyes, they represent a major turning point for what we intend to provide, and the direction that it will be provided to the community.
Recently, I set my energies to recount to anyone that would take any interest in what we do, what we've done, and how it has, and shall further make a difference in better expressing who we are here Downeast.
Our proprietary Content Management System, Symbiotic Publisher, which powers Beaufort County NOW, has just gone through a major upgrade, and we are done for now. We will be adjusting BCN's template to one that can be more easily replicated and hopefully fully Responsive to all devices.
Last month, as our publisher of Beaufort County NOW as I was making some sense of our periodic mediocre traffic (at least for us), I stated that: "In terms of traffic, Beaufort County NOW (BCN) has hit a lull in expansion - more than we have experienced in the past."
