So much happening in our area and BladenOnline continues to cover it all.
Yesterday (Sunday), 45,781 pages were viewed, the second most ever. Second only to 52,264 on January 7, 2016.
A wreck, politics, Beastfest and a huge drug bust were some of the most viewed articles. BladenOnline was on duty, covering it all. Prior to the beginning of BladenOnline, February 1, 2008, we would have had some of the details mid-week or later, if ever.
What surprises me is how many Regional News Sources are constantly monitoring BladenOnline for news tips.
Thanks to the staff for their efforts. News events occur 7 days a week. And, more are covered by BladenOnline than any other news source.
Actually BladenOnline’s numbers for last week, prior to Sunday, were very good. Pages viewed were 144,875 and visits totaled 31,489. A year ago, pages viewed were 102,440 and visits totaled 16,480. I was always pleased with anything over 100,000.
