BCN's February Traffic: We've Done Better, Part II | Eastern NC Now

But then again, I did remember that February is the worst month of the year.

    In the interest of transparency, I am compelled to publish this post even though it was not easy to do so. Why? Beaufort County Now did have a good February.

    Understanding that we are fairly new at all this, we are building a history, and one piece of that history is suggesting that February has been a poor month for two years running. Fortunately, March has picked up dramatically, comparatively speaking, so it makes the broadcasting of this news a bit easier to swallow.

    Regardless of my bemoaning February's lackluster numbers, we were still higher than March, 2013, which was still well up from February last year, which we will show here below. Also, we hit a milestone which signifies just how big a site BCN is and how consistently popular so many posts are with our readership: During February, we met the metric of having 1,200 articles with a minimum of 1,200 unique views. Logically speaking, Our next milestone in this analytical vein will be 1,300 articles with a minimum of 1,300 unique views.

    Here below is a sheet of the metrics of our traffic for February, 2014, and the milestones that, while we may not have achieved, we completed last month:
