BCN's February Traffic: We've Done Better, Part II


But then again, I did remember that February is the worst month of the year.

    In the interest of transparency, I am compelled to publish this post even though it was not easy to do so. Why? Beaufort County Now did have a good February.

    Understanding that we are fairly new at all this, we are building a history, and one piece of that history is suggesting that February has been a poor month for two years running. Fortunately, March has picked up dramatically, comparatively speaking, so it makes the broadcasting of this news a bit easier to swallow.

    Regardless of my bemoaning February's lackluster numbers, we were still higher than March, 2013, which was still well up from February last year, which we will show here below. Also, we hit a milestone which signifies just how big a site BCN is and how consistently popular so many posts are with our readership: During February, we met the metric of having 1,200 articles with a minimum of 1,200 unique views. Logically speaking, Our next milestone in this analytical vein will be 1,300 articles with a minimum of 1,300 unique views.

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

BCN's January Traffic: We've Done Better Beaufort County NOW, The County NOWs, Publishing BCN Returns to a Normalized Traffic Pattern


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'.
