Tell me there hasn't been any "/news" items published in days, but my "/news" button only shows the French soldier from SKP. Something amiss? Or is it me? I know, Jim, my wife paid you not to announce any further kits for me to buy....

Hi Bill,
Due to the confidential arrangement we have worked out with your wife, we are unable to say more about this at this time.

Best,
Jim



PS: I think it's just either a slow news cycle or the guys are taking a much deserved few days off.

Pat,
I checked our Google Analytics data for you. The main News page is the 2nd highest trafficked page on the site with over 25,000 pageviews in the past 30 days from just under 15K unique visitors. More than many hobby magazines circulation numbers.

The forum is #1 of course.

Cheers,
Jim

Wow... what's even more impressive is that comparing to data for Jan 1, 2009 - Jan 31, 2009 (which seasonally is a busier month by far) our News readership is way up.

May 1, 2009 - May 31, 2009
pageviews 25,404 (+57.99%)
unique pageviews 14,839 (+34.89%)

January 1, 2009 - January 31, 2009
pageviews 16,080
unique pageviews 11,001

Mind you these numbers are just for the people hitting the main News page and in no way reflect the total number of news stories being read. That's a much higher number as people click through to them via the forums and homepages.

Way to go news team!

Jim
