I had a chance today to look over some of our stats for the year. I started this blog back in January of 2011 with the hope that other people would find the things I wrote regarding Everett to be of interest. That appears to be the case. Using the WordPress stats from my original host from mid January to mid April and adding those to the WordPress stats from our current host we’ve had more than 200,000 page views. Most every measuring program we’ve tried has given us different figures but the industry standard seems to be Google Analytics and according to the folks at Google Analytics, in the past six months, My Everett News has averaged more than 10,000 unique visitors a month with more than 120,000 page views. Thanks to each of you. I appreciate your readership, story suggestions, the support of the businesses who advertise and your willingness to follow My Everett News on Twitter, Facebook and to subscribe to our daily emails. Here are the top 10 stories of the year…
