We tweeted yesterday and posted a comment that Monday was Rostra’s biggest day ever, with 1,453 unique visits to the site and over 2,500 individual page views. It’s clearly campaign home stretch.
Well, Tuesday we exceeded both those numbers! Over 1,500 visitors browsed 2,768 Rostra pages.
Thanks to all of the bloggers, readers, commenters and critics for making this little blog a premier venue for local political discussion!

I”d be curious as to the top referring pages (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Direct URL). I’m sure that potential advertisers would as well

Interestingly enough, months after his departure, people are still searching for “What happened to Rick Roberts” or something similar, with Rostra’s related coverage being in the top of the results.
As for Facebook and Twitter, the link numbers from those are high, dependent on specific Rostra articles being posted to them as well as the timing. For instance, the Ron Paul delegate info posted last night has received a huge number of linking readers coming from social media outlets.
Thank you. Good stuff.
