Top Ten Page Views for September
Steve Almond is still on top, although Myfanwy Collins came very close to unseating him. A couple stories from the issue released in the middle of the month, and I imagine they'll show more prominently in October, once they've had a full month's worth of page views. Scott Ford is still hanging in there with his piece that will celebrate its third birthday in December. Choke on that, print mags.
1) Pornography by Steve Almond (6/15/05)
2) Prey by Myfanwy Collins (3/15/06)
3) Five Fat Men in a Hot Tub by Jeff Landon (9/15/05)
4) How the Broken Lead the Blind Until They Both Become Something Else Entirely by Matt Bell (6/15/06)
5) Daffodil by Kathy Fish (6/15/06)
6) Everything by CB Anderson (9/15/06)
7) Axl Rose Is My Dog by Scott Ford (12/15/04)

Top Ten Page Views for July
I'm going to follow this post up with another about the overall stats for July, because in answering a question Randall Brown had about how the reviews are doing, I took a much deeper look than usual. July's #1 and #2 look very familar, and most of the rest of the list is from the latest issue, with the exception of #9, which was published almost two years ago! I'll evangelize over and over and over again the power of online mags to put stories in the hands of readers, and this is one more example.
1. Pornography by Steve Almond (6/15/05)
2. Five Fat Men in a Hot Tub by Jeff Landon (9/15/05)
3. How the Broken Lead the Blind Until They Both Become Something Else Entirely by Matt Bell (6/15/06)
4. Prey by Myfanwy Collins (6/15/06)
5. A Foreign Woman by Roberta Allen (6/15/06)
6. Memory of Sky by Jai Clare (6/15/06)
7. See Odi Naked by Lisa K. Buchanan (6/15/06)
8. Daffodil by Kathy Fish
9. Axl Rose Is My Dog by Scott Ford (12/15/04)
10. Tough Act by Steven J. McDermott (6/15/06)
