Top Ten Page Views for May 2009
Once again, very late posting this, due to insane work schedules. Total traffic for the month was 86,341, which convinces me that, yes, I need to find time to pimp the site again. Samuel Lee's piece is yet another testament to the power of StumbleUpon, as his story garnered over 5,000 page views from Stumblers alone. One reviewer there commented, "Thanks for the braingasm."1.

Top Ten Page Views for April 2009
Updating this at the same time as March's stats, which shows just how far behind I got. 86,978 page views for the month. Hmmm. Might be time for me to figure out a way to get less busy at work and much busier pimping content.1. (NR) Tenderoni by Kathy Fish (10/2/08)

The last month at work has been crazy, so I'm way late posting these, and don't have much commentary. Lots of stuff from the newest issue. 99,091 total page views for the month, so we fell a bit behind the 100k pace we'd been setting.1. (NR) I Use Commas like Ninja Stars by Samuel Lee (3/18/09)

Top Ten Page Views for November 2008
Sarah Hilary retains her top spot, and Almond almost falls out of the top ten altogether. Interesting to see two from March '07 jump back onto the list.1. (1) Two Minute Silence by Sarah Hilary (10/2/08)

Last month, I wondered whether the monthly page views would stay above 100,000 in months without new issues. Sure enough! 101,408. Woo!

Top Ten Page Views for October 2008
October's Top Ten was absolutely dominated by content from the new issue. Almond and Bell were the only repeats from last month. And, if we look beyond the top ten, the next eight in page views were all from the October issue as well. Talk about a strong issue.1. (NR) Two Minute Silence by Sarah Hilary (10/2/08)

Total page views for the month was... get this... 111,740! I'll be interested to see if the page views stay over 100,000 in months without a new issue going live. Here's hoping.

Top Ten Page Views for August 2008
August's top ten is a great example of why I'm such a huge fan of publishing online versus print publishing. Alexandra Fox's story was the most viewed piece of the month, with over 1000 page views last month. And it was published three years ago. And how did this come to pass? Apparently, somewhere along the way, it got tagged on StumbleUpon, and so users of that service wound up being directed to this work quite often. Lots of new readers for a story from 2005. When's the last time you saw print do that?1. (NR) A Deep Desire for Blue by Alexandra Fox (6/15/05)

9. (7) Pornography by Steve Almond (6/15/05)
10. (5) The Bone Orchard by Randall Brown (6/15/08)
One other quick note: for the month, we had 96,892 page views, shattering our previous monthly record. Holy cow.

Top Ten Page Views for July 2008
Last month was a huge month for the latest issue: nine of the top ten were from Issue 21. And total page views for the month was a big number again: 87,560.

Top Ten Page Views for June 2008
Almond moves back on top again, and I'm sure that's due at least in part to Microsoft's pervy search engine results, but whatever. Lots of stuff from the anniversary issue appears here as well, and it was a huge traffic month: over 90,000 page views, our highest-traffic month ever. Can't complain about that!1.

9. (1) The Cockroach by David Barringer (3/15/08)
10. (NR) Memento Mori by Rosanne Grifeth (6/15/08)
One thing I really notice about the top ten is that a number of these pieces were highlighted in various blogs recently: Matt Bell's piece was featured by Dan Wickett here, Dogzplot here, and in Matt's own blog here (along with links to every other story in the issue); Matt and Blake Butler were featured by Josh Maday here; Blake is also featured by Keyhole Magazine here (as are Rosanne Griffeth and Shellie Zacharia), and in his own blog here; Randall Brown's piece appears on his blog here; and Rosanne, in addition to the Keyhole feature, is featured by The Angler here, Carolina On My Mind (the blog of the artist who illustrated the story) here, Dew on the Kudzu here, and in her own blog here.

Top Ten Page Views for May 2008
Well, Almond's "Pornography" is back on top again. I think I always sort of knew that at least part of its page views were coming from folks who weren't necessarily looking for a good story to read. Now that we have our referrers being tracked, it's become a little clearer that that's the case. In looking at the top referrers for "Pornography," seven of the top ten referrers are searches for "Porno" on various different Microsoft search enginges. Ah, well. I hope that a few of them get over their disappointment at not finding pud-pulling material long enough to give it a read. It's a hell of a story.1. (2) Pornography by Steve Almond (6/15/05)

Expect a shake-up next month, as our birthday issue goes live in a hair under two weeks, so there'll be lots of new content to read.

Top Ten Page Views for April 2008 (stats are back!)
Woohoo! Stats are working again! I'd like to apologize for the downtime we had with the site for a couple days over the weekend and hope it didn't panic anyone too much. On the plus side, having to talk to our web host prompted me to mention that we'd really like to have our stats working again. And now they are! I've gone through and backfilled the missing top tens. If you click here, you should be able to see all of them that were missing (and, at some point, I'll go back and put tags on all of the top tens ever, so they'll all be viewable on one page).

And, once again, I'm incredibly late in posting stats for last month. Almond moves not only back into the top spot, but into the #2 spot as well. The man's a powerhouse. And if y'all haven't checked out his latest yet, (Not That You Asked) is worth the cover price for the piece on Vonnegut alone.

On a personal note, my tardiness is largely due to having been hitting the bricks to find a new gig after my contract at Microsoft ended. And I'm really excited to have accepted a position at the largest architectural firm in Seattle. Very, very cool place, and I can't wait to get to work there.
