Dec. traffic: In a first, page views exceed 500K

The three most clicked-on December posts:
December brought record traffic amid a big layoff, and historic home-delivery changes in Detroit -- continuing a roller-coaster trend driven by news. Unique visitors (a tricky metric) more than doubled, to 63,083, from November's totals. Visits jumped to 219,616 from 128,477. And page views soared to 541,515 vs. 237,534.

Context: Gannett employs up to 46,000. Plus, top media industry blogger Jim Romenesko nabs 100,000 individual visitors a day.

    Congratulations Jim! I worked for The Arizona Republic, if you send your traffic detail to their marketing department it will be returned as-
    7.8 Million Visits
    6.87 Million Unique Visitors
    135 Zillion Page Views
    8.654 Million Average Page Views
    7.9 hours Time on Site

    If you ask nicely and get a VP to like you, you might even get a focus group that will support anything you'd like

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
